- Nathan MacKinnon may have won the Lady Byng trophy this season but the lack of respect for Jaccob Slavin is still astonishing:
Nathan MacKinnon received votes on 132 of 170 ballots, including 64 first-place selections, in collecting 984 voting points. This is his first Lady Byng win and second victory at the #NHLAwards – he claimed the Calder Memorial Trophy in 2013-14. pic.twitter.com/2knLi3BqpU

Jaccob Slavin actually got the second-most first place votes of anyone in the Lady Byng balloting, but he was denied even being a finalist because he was left off of almost 100 ballots. He was listed on 78 of 170 ballots, and 31 of those ballots gave him a first place vote.
