Our time is coming soon but, for now, a great day:
“The idea of adding a trophy for defensive excellence on the back-end is far from a new one. Defensemen are the only position class without two awards and it feels especially unjust that forwards have a designated award for their off-puck ability while the position that drives it most doesn’t. Considering how often the Norris is lamented as an offensive defenseman award, it should be important to create some equilibrium with an honor that would recognize those who excel in their own end.” [The Athletic ($)]
“Kyle Dubas left the Toronto Maple Leafs and took on a complex challenge with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Over the past three years, he’s restocked the prospect pool and succeeded with reclamation projects.” [The Hockey News]
