Doesn’t have to be an injury, can be a health issue.It's great and all that these guys have fought through things to come back to the game and they deserve a ton of credit for it, but this trophy is honestly stupid. It's all like "my injury is bigger than yours!"
The fact that the PHWA is voting on it makes it even dumber.

What lol, just cause you don’t like the trophy, doesn’t make it stupid.I know it can. Doesn't make it any more reasonable for people to vote on.
Having to play for Torts is rough but I think this is still Kylington's.I thin Sean Couturier is the most significant snub.

It is a stupid trophy tho.What lol, just cause you don’t like the trophy, doesn’t make it stupid.
Not to mention, I was just stating the trophy is more than just injuries.
Less dumb than the Messier Leadership AwardIt is a stupid trophy tho.

What have they fought back from? Have any had career ending injuries or suffered nervous breakdowns? Seriously. Do not know the back stories accept for one who had back to back injury years, but there was no.talk of them being career ending.It's great and all that these guys have fought through things to come back to the game and they deserve a ton of credit for it, but this trophy is honestly stupid.

There's always next year's injuryStone's heroic recovery snubbed
He should be a multi-time winner by now.Stone's heroic recovery snubbed
Kylington has a good chance too, especially with the focus the world seems to have on mental health and getting help for mental health issues.Andersen wins AINEC. At least that's how it ought to go.

I agree somewhat but I don’t think these guys are competing for this trophy, or really want to win it. You don’t necessarily want to be a Masterton nominee that means you were dealing with something awful. Generally speaking.

If it is purely based upon coming back from an injury? Stone has it sewed up next year
Recognizing people for overcoming challenges is stupid?
In that way, is the problem with the Masterton award or is it announcing finalists?This may sound crazy, but you can recognize people for overcoming challenges without making it a sad story popularity contest where their challenges are stacked against each others. It’s a stupid category for a competitive trophy, you can recognize people in other ways.
Nothing worse than being the Masterton runner up, you can’t even have tragedies happen to you good enough to win you chump, just absolutely choked your whole personal tragedy instead of doubling down and milking it.
