To me, the frontrunner for league MVP is Carolina Kraken centre Linus Grimstad. He leads his team in goals and assists, and for the entire SMJHL he is 2nd in goals, 4th in assists, and 3rd in points. The reason that Grimstad is my MVP for the season thus far is because he is not a one-dimensional player, he excels at all aspects of the game and plays well all around. This is also a large reason why I didn't choose Newfoundland centre Mats Marner, who leads the league in goals and points, or Ryuuji Minamino, who leads the league in assists and points. Another reason for this is because Grimstad doesn't have the supporting cast in Carolina that Marner or Minamino have in Newfoundland. This makes it all the more impressive that Grimstad has been able to challenge both Marner and Minamino for points leader at various parts of this season.
