This is really interesting PT to do. My award would be definitely called ''Best Underrated Defender''. Not the best defender in the league, but might be best underrated defender for sure.

My player isn't definitely the best defender in this entire league yet, but he is doing well and I would say he is underrated. It was his second season in SHL and he already have more than 1200 TPE in total. He just had second consecutive season with 25 season points aswell.

He had +22 plus/minus this season, only 10 penalty minutes and even a hat-trick as a defender. Plus, he is playing on a winning team and just great franchise in general. He doesn't have huge ice time aswell - it's only a bit over 15 minutes per game, plus only around 30 seconds per game on powerplay or shorthand.

Not big ice time, decent in points, pretty good in statistics in general and working hard and gaining all TPE possible almost every time. Best underrated defender? You decide.
