There's a number of awards that I could make up that my player, Valtterri Kauppinen, could win, but I'm going to go with a basic one: the "Best Player on the Worst (standings wise) Team Trophy." It might sound like kind of a rude award, but there's always those guys who are clearly amongst the great players of a league, but are stuck on a bottom feeding team (for instance, Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl on the Edmonton Oilers, or John Gibson on the Anaheim Ducks). This trophy rewards those who stick with a team like that without ripping out their hair, and recognizes their concentration and dedication to the game of hockey. As we all know, the Vancouver Whalers have struggled wholesale this past season coming into the playoffs, but hell, there's even a few other candidates for the award on that team excluding my guy: players like Ako Zile and Nikolaj Boyle, for instance, who have put up similar numbers to Valtterri Kauppinen.
