It's not altogether different from my selections. Of the differences between my team and the one selected, Olver edged out Albert by two points, and Lawson edged out Summers by two points. I'm not sure why Cannone didn't get more love since he's tied for 3rd highest returning scorer in the conference. And clearly I'm a little more skeptical on Northern's goaltending than the rest of the conference.
