The NHL began awarding the Conn Smythe Trophy to the most valuable player of the postseason beginning in the 1965 season. How many of the past winners can you name in six minutes?
The Bakersfield Condors have not been blessed with a great deal of high-end draft picks playing for them. Most of that relates to the Oilers trading them in their quest for a Stanley Cup.
