What players do you think should be considered for Comeback Player of the Year?
Off the top of my head I'm thinking Jeremy Roenick, Ed Jovanovski and Jose Theodore.

Kovalev seems to be a very good choice as far as i can see.

I know Ollie is perhaps the most likable guy in the history of the world but the man love for him is bordering on the ridiculous. :)

At the risk of sounding like a homer - Ty Conklin. The guy's been buried in the minors, considered a journeyman, and has come out of nowhere to keep the Pens vying for the division (possibly the conference) lead after they lost their best player.

This isnt a troll post, or something to upset the masses ...however:
If the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, I will stop watching hockey for a full year.
This is a 100% true story.

I dont think Conklin would be considered a comeback player...To be a comeback player you would of had to been a significant player that has had a few off years..
Conklin might be a breakout player though..

What is a "comback player" Someone who missed significant time last year or someone who just sucked. If it's someone who just sucked, then I would say maybe Svatos, Morrow or even though he's young, Zherdev.

Either/or IMO.

It should be somebody who was good at one point and has either sucked or been injured or has sucked because of injuries and now is good again.
A young player like Zherdev who is having a break out season shouldn't be in the mix.

well, if its based on players who take a year off and then try the following year, I guess its Kovalev vs Prospal this year.
usually these guys would probably rotate this award amongst each other, just bad timing on their part that they both decided to try this year.
Hmm, I wonder if its a contract year?

I would consider him more of a breakout.

I would go with Chris Osgood.
When I go to a fast food restaurant, and my order comes to $6.28, I like to give the cashier $18.71. They look at me and say 'What's this?' and I say 'I'm all in'. They usually fold.

Zherdev had his breakout season 2 years ago. 27g 27a in 05-06, then 10g 22a last year, now 23g 27a this year.

I think this has to be Roenick. I don't know how many Sharks games you guys watch, but I've watched proly a dozen in their entirety, and he looks like he's in his 20s out there. It's astounding.

Eh, I've got nothing but love for Kovy either, but I don't think he ever fell off, so to speak.
