Seabrook Leadership Memorial (player who exemplifies leadership on and off the ice):ĭeBrincat was one of the few players who handled the Beach questions with the full class you’d expect from a ten-year vet, not a young player. Hopefully, next season we will have more worthy candidates for this trophy. Kirby led all forwards in blocked shots with 44. Kirby almost won this award as the Hawks have been playing him in a shutdown role with the lack of offense coming from him. Toews still did a good job shutting down top players. Toews wins this award by a slim margin because he can win a faceoff. With the lack of defense, this award shouldn’t be handed out this season. Toews letting everyone know they are playing like shit, hope he is including his own effort as well… just saying #Blackhawks /Yta45iHdks- CueTheDagger ApMarian DemiGod Hossa Award (best defensive forward): Toews had more than a few interviews where he was “pouting.” Toews didn’t do anything egregious but came off as a curmudgeonly grandpa most of the season. So instead, Toews wins this trophy for the “grumpy” attitude he carried all season long. But because Bowman is no longer with the Blackhawks (thankfully), he can’t win this award. Bowman not only turned out to be a bad person, but he was equally as bad at being a GM. This award should be going to Stan Bowman for his miss handling of the Beach situation. Bobby Hull Memorial (Player who exhibits the worst off ice attitude/actions): If Murphy had stayed healthy, this would have been his award. Murphy was in the top ten in the league in blocked shots before his injury.

Even with the missed time, Murphy finished fourth with 150 blocked shots in just 57 games. Murphy was his usual self playing solid defense before getting hurt and missing the end of the season.

Jones was also third on the team in blocked shots with 155. Out of the choices, Seth Jones came out on top due to the ice time he logged well, playing along with a young developing defenseman who made many mistakes that Seth Jones would make up for. This was a hard one to give out since defense was not played much in Chicago this season. PATRICK KANE TO CAT ?? 1-0 /N3RYBjSr3E- Chicago Blackhawks NovemHjalmarsson Shutdown Trophy (Best Defensive Defenseman): DeBrincat and Strome have had a long Bromance, but if your Dylan Strome, watch out. However, DeBrincat and Kane push each other to bring out the best in both players. DeBrincat and Kane can score at will when they are on the ice, and no good Bromance lives without an argument or two, and DeBrincat and Kane had more than a few spats. Kane and DeBrincat are the closest combos to Breadman and Showtime since Kane and Panarin. Kane and Panarin Award (given to the two players who created an everlasting bromance): He was battling through to the end even though the season was over early. DeBrincat never took a shift off, let alone a game. DeBrincat was the only player to play 82 games. Jones was the definition of a workhorse never getting off of the ice. Jones’s season started rough, but then he settled in and did everything he could on a bad Blackhawks team. Jones played 26:13 a game, grinding out every shift. Seth Jones not only leads the Blackhawks in ice time, but he leads the entire league. fRDRhG3Fyn- Chicago Blackhawks FebruRuns on Duncan award (Player who was a workhorse):
