Pavel Datsyuk Award Awarded to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game Criteria: Considering the nature of our league, it will almost always be the case that players deserving of nomination for the Datsyuk will also produce at an above average level offensively. However, offensive production specifically should not be a factor in determining who is more deserving of the award. Also note that increasingly, although not exclusively, the Datsyuk is awarded to players in the AHL that play the position of center. Playing wing should hinder, but not preclude, a player from winning or being nominated for the Datsyuk. 1) Stats to consider when evaluating players to nominate for the Datsyuk are the following: Record, +/-, PIM, FO%, GAA, and PPKE. Note that players should not receive a massive bonus due to a high +/- simply due to outlandish offensive production. GAA is a much more reliable indicator of defensive superiority than +/- is. 2) Linemates.This is mainly to note that a player should not be significantly punished during consideration simply for playing with a talented line. However, players should not significantly benefit during consideration simply for playing on a below average team or with below average linemates. 3) Strength of schedule. In a league where managers (and players, to a certain extent), are able to choose who they play against, it is important to consider strength of opposition when determining individual awards. The main things to examine here are record vs playoff teams as compared to record vs non-playoff teams, as well as GAA vs playoff teams as compared to vs non-playoff teams. Specifically, a player who plays a majority of his games against stronger teams and has a quality record in these games should be rewarded over players who mainly play against weaker teams. As far as GAA is concerned, it is expected that players will allow less goals against weaker teams. Players should only be downgraded in this area if they allow a significant and disproportionate amount of goals in games against playoff teams. In especially tight cases between players, also consider evaluating the individual lineups that players face throughout the season. Subjectively quantify teams' 1st/2nd/3rd lines, and examine how many of each the players have played against throughout the season, in combination with playoff/non playoff.

Thank you guys for the nomination and the votes. I’m lucky to have such great goaltending/defence behind me that we all work in unison with each other to make it difficult for the opponent! I’m one piece of a puzzle that not many teams can figure out! Been such a fun season. In honesty I’m not the best player or defensive player on this list but I forcheck(not so much) backcheck and leave with my pay check of a big FAT W in the stat sheet
I'll start it off with everyone on this list deserve it, but my boi kiroxy deserves an honorable mention. Even if only from me. I don't play much defense and tbh neither does @Rage Rox so we wouldn't have been half as good if it wasnt for him.
