from Adam Kimelman of NHL.com,
Certain NHL trophies are fairly easily to track using the wide array of statistics available at NHL.com.
Unfortunately, the Selke Trophy, awarded to the League’s best defensive forward, isn’t one of them. There are no definitive stats to track defensive awareness or own-zone reliability.
Without hard data to use, finding Selke candidates can become a difficult proposition. It’s beauty in the eye of the beholder; quite often, however, no two beholders have the same criteria for beauty.
“I think too often it is a subjective thing,” former Tampa Bay Lightning GM Jay Feaster told NHL.com.
“There’s no way to quantify the best defensive player,” added Chicago Blackhawks Assistant General Manager Rick Dudley. “You’d have to break it down to where you watched every shift and watched them closely.”
read on and names mentioned are Mike Richards, Pavel Datsyuk and Ryan Kesler…
