Here are some stats gathered from Toronto Star, March 11th:

Player		Team	Games	Goals	Assists	Points	+/-	Top10
Kjell Dahlin	Mtl	64	31	36	67	+14	+10.6
Mike Ridley	NYR	66	18	38	56	+4	+3.4
Steve Thomas	Tor	6?	18	32	50	-7	-9.5
Wendel Clark	Tor	6?	29	9	38	-25	-9.5
Stephane Richer	Mtl	52	15	15	30	0	+10.6

Dahlin, Ridley and Thomas are all above the average +/- of the top 10
scoring players on their club (last column).  Clark is pitiful.  there
is also no excuse for having only nine assists --- if you can hit the
net you can hit another player's stick with a pass just as well.
Alas, I forgot to pull out the # of penalty minutes...
(When looking at Dahlin's +/- rating, remember that power play scoring
is not included in it).

In my opinion, Clark should rank fourth or fifth in the voting...
