PASabreFan Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Most of the awards wind up going with stupid trends like this, kind of like the Norris. Some day they will create an award that can actually go do a defenseman who actually plays defense. Far too often they just hand it to the highest scorer out there. It is for the best "all-round" defenseman. Maybe they need the Selke equivalent for best offensive defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That idea has been out there for a while. I bet it happens sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate the Bruins, they've gotta name that the Orr Trophy, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I honestly wonder if coaches and players really care about some of these awards. The do if they have significant bonuses in their contract for winning any of them. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 The collapse of the Russian ruble has dealt the KHL some hard times. Looks like some players haven't been paid since October.

If only there were an NHL team whose coach had eastern European connections..... :angel: From the one article I read, it sounds like Diamo Riga (the Latvian KHL team) doesn't use Rubles, so it's fine. I don't know if there are many Latvian players on other KHL teams though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
