King Clancy Winner: @NoSleeves12 Runner Ups: N/A As stated in the criteria, the Clancy in LG typically goes to a BOG that has been very impactful and/or helpful for the league, or a media member that really does a good job keeping the forums active. NoSleeves was the unanimous winner for this award, as he moved from the AHL to NHL, and brought his extensive media presence with him. Typically posting 2 videos a week in a season where there was not much, if any consistent media, Sleeves did a great job keeping the league buzzing and addressing different storylines throughout the season. This is the first Clancy award for Nosleeves and his first individual award in the NHL. _________________________________________________________ Jack Adams Award - Awarded to the Owner adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success. (In the Regular Season) Jack Adams Winner: @Agger23 Minnesota Wild Runner Ups: @Sedinpower Pittsburgh Penguins , @CoUnTeR-AtTaCk43 Colorado Avalanche Final tally: Agger- 12 Sedinpower- 5 CounterAttack-3 Gour- 2 Mathdouble- 1 WillRolltide- 1 Agger came in, like Nosleeves as the unanimous winner for this award. His team was not seen as a real favorite coming into the season, and ended up finishing 3rd in the entire league. They did this despite Agger losing; Flapjack, RBCressor, Kinglyme and Ransom all to trade compensation, due to various players quitting after being traded. 4 guys that could be considered 2nd liners or better he had to give away for nothing in return, and still guided his team to 2nd in the west and 3rd overall. Also, as this is an organizational award in LG, his AHL team also finished 1st in the AHL standings, and his combined point total (NHL points + AHL points) of 245 was over 25 better than the next best organization. This is the first Jack Adams for Agger, and his first individual award. _________________________________________________________ Congratulations to all off our Season 7 Award Winners. Special Thanks to our Awards Committee: RadicalApex, Flapjack8796, JClaus33, and Desjy_99, as well as our fill in voter for any award a committee member was involved in, head guy hgSparty
Community vote is worth 3 points, which he earned, but the numbers don't back him winning the award at all. He was in the bottom half of the 5 finalists in nearly every category. Great season for sure, but he was not the "most deserving"
