Lafleur got Shutt’s retro rocket and his place in the hof.

Some very average goalies have won Jennings Trophies with elite defencemen playing in front of them:

Rick Wamsley (Robinson)
Al Jensen (Langway)
Roman Turek (Pronger)

And then theres Bryan Hayward's three Jennings wins as Patrick Roy's backup.

ok here’s a weird one. manny maholtra should get credit for kesler’s selke. manny took on (and absolutely crushed) the hard shutdown minutes and defensive zone starts from kesler’s workload, which freed kes up to score 40 goals. and that won him the selke because voters are dumb.

This is not a shot at Kesler but rather at the media members voting for the award, but you cannot forget that Kesler's excellent finishing on Vancouver's power play helped get him the Selke, an award that explicitly is only about defensive play.

Ah the Chris Kunitz thread

Yzerman has both a first team and also second team all star, by proxy of Gerard Gallant (though I'm super happy for Gallant that he got it and got paid after that year).
