The Flyers took another controversial decision
So, last Friday, the Philadelphia Flyers sent out award ballots to journalists in order for them to vote for the team's MVP this season.
Some of the reporters on the Flyers' beat weren't very happy about it because only players who are still with the roster are eligible. Thus, it means that Claude Giroux, who has been arguably the team's best performer, was ineligible.Here's Sam Carchidi's reasoning on why reporters should've had the opportunity to vote for Giroux :
"Part of me understands why the Flyers have the stipulation to not include a player traded during the season. After all, they want to introduce the winner to the fans and make a big deal out of the presentation.
But isn't it more important to make the right choice?
Atkinson has had a good season, just not quite as good as Giroux, who was the Flyers' lone All-Star selection.
On merit," wrote Charchidi.
