Next up is the Bojo Biscuit Trophy, given to the league's best defensive defenseman.

As is tradition, there are a ton of honorable mentions for this award. It's almost like someone on the committee always nominates 5 people, several of which usually go overlooked.

Our honorable mentions are as follows:

Nicholas Owens of Buffalo - not to be overlooked by his more scorey teammate, Owens was a very stout defender in all phases for Buffalo. Dude had a great season. Congrats!

Brennan Kennedy Jr of Calgary: put up another all around great season. Took care of the puck as he has the last few years, and fell just short of a finalist position on a tiebreak. This guy is a possession monster! He led Calgary with led Calgary with 25.6 SA/60, 2.4 GA/60, and the top Corsi/Fenwick % on the team at nearly 64% each.

Sven Yxskaft of New England - some of the stronger adv stats on NEW, best +/- on team, over a minute SHTOI, 40 TkA (+17), 114 SB, 63 hits. While FRFR is the big name, Yxskaft quietly was a very good player last season.

Slimey Snail of Minnesota - Snail's the sort of player that flies under the radar. He was used almost exclusively in shutodwn minutes for Minnesota, and has decent advanced stats compared to his team.  Also had good defensive counting stats.

Mathias Seger of Los Angeles - LAP's defense hemmoraged shots, but Seger had some of the better SA/60 on the team, along with solid counting stats.

Congrasts on good seasons @Grum @kenvald @Segi @bk1689 @FleshBagSoup
