    Default Senseless Selke award

    So how is it that when Jordan Staal scores more, he’ll finally get a nomination for “the defensive aspect” of his game? Memo: keep scoring, Jordan, and you might win it.
    CONDORS, 2022-23 league champions, Reg Dunlop Mem Cup

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Stutzle, Sergachev
    Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
    E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright

    That's just the way she goes with this award.

    It's because the people voting for the awards still read 1991 hockey cards that only show GP, G, A, PTS and PIM

    It's because you can't win a game 0 - 0. Preventing the other team from scoring shoes not help your team win unless your are also scoring.

    Kris Russell is often among the league leaders for lowest expected goals against but he's also among the leaders in lowest expected goals for so he is not helping his team win games.

    Sure... the best defense is a good offense. Just give it to McDavid then. Read what the award SAYS. ...given to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspect of the game.” Bergeron - kills penalty, often terrifying short-handed, no issue. Bob Gainey, Guy Carbonneau, Rod Brind’Amour, Pavel Datsyuk. Jordan Staal belongs in this discussion even with only 20 points scored. THAT was my point.

    Enter discussion of the Norris again where the highest scoring Dman is usually the front runner. They need two different trophies for that one. One for the best DEFENSEman and one for the best OFFENSEman.

    Basically, this is falling under the same pretence. A defensive award that's focused more on offense.
