(This isn't a passive aggressive move at all)
I went with Smith. He's come along way from last season, and even from earlier this season (he struggled big time against BU).
I chose the four because I feel a credible argument can be made for all of them.
I went with Fiegl, but all four could easily be the most improved. This year there's a definite "quality problem" in trying to choose just one!
I think Malott has improved substantially more than any of these players. Nuttle is playing a similar role to last year's, Smith was already a top D-man last year, Starett went from a scoring line to the checking line this year, and Fiegl's game has been largely unchanged since he got here, other than a very gradual improvement. I'd even choose Angello before I'd choose any of these options.
Angelo. He was good before. Now, he is a presence.
uhhhh
