Luke Evangelista!

With 29.4% of the vote, Luke Evangelista takes the title. Evangelista scored 12 goals and 44 assists (second on the team). After undergoing a contract dispute with the Predators prior to the season, Evangelista re-signed with the team and instantly made an impact.

He was one of the team's best playmakers and led to more scoring in the team's top veterans like Stamkos and Ryan O'Reilly.
