This is going to be a really long shot for MVP. I know usually you become MVP by scoring the most points or the most goals and stuff like this. But have a look at the rosters of Maine and Quebec: There are a lot of high scoring players and if you remove one of them there would probably be another who moves up the lineup and would score almost as much. So i want to look at a player who simply cannot be replaced because the value within the is too high. But first i want to throw out an honorable mention: Those players are not my MVP because it's a group of players and not a sigle one: The S80 rookie class of the Carolina Kraken: The three forwards: Kim Chaewon, Greyson Willis and Goosetavo have scored acombined 62 goals and 108 assists in 57 games so far. The two Defensmen: Carter Rumsy and Carter st. Pierre a logging 21:30 min every night and if you look at ther GA/TA ratio they are probably the most stable pairing of the entire league. Meanwhile rookie goalie: Doplh is leading the league in Wins. They are the sole reason why the Kraken are sitting at #2 in the standings right now. The could probably replace the people ahead of them in the lineup if there are any but they themselves are irreplaceble.

But now to my suggestion for the league MVP. There is exactly one player in this league from who everyone expects to do the impossible each and everynight. One player who is facing unspeakable horrors every time he takes the ice. One player who despite everything has not yet given up or quit: I'm talking about the goalie of the Vancouver Whalers: Trent Mackenzie. Vancouver is allowing 50 shots on goals per game on average! Some nights Mackenzie has to face 70 to 80 shots on the Vancouver net. In theri last win Mackenzie had a 61 saves performance. In 50 games this season Mackenzie made 1805 saves already. That is almost 500 saves or 31 % more than the next goalie who is sitting at #2. But Mackenzie is still here: Not quitting not complaining, despite being hammered with shots on goal every time he steps on the ice, without any attemps of defense by the team infront of him. This is a true MVP. Nobody else would be willing to suffer as much over such a long period of time.
