The 26-year-old Doughty was named on 147-of-150 ballots and received 93 first-place votes for 1,254 voting points, enough to edge defending Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators and Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks. Doughty, who had 14 goals and 37 assists while playing in all 82 games, captured his first Norris Trophy in his third time as a finalist. He is the second player in franchise history to win the Norris, joining Rob Blake (1998). Karlsson had 16 goals and 66 assists for Ottawa to lead all defencemen in scoring, while Burns had 27 goals and 48 assists for the Sharks this season.

Russia's Panarin led all rookies in goals (30), assists (47), points (77), power-play goals (eight), power-play points (24) and game-winning goals (7) in 80 games in 2015-16. Patrick Kane wins Ted Lindsay Award Patrick Kane has won the Ted Lindsay Award, given to the NHL's outstanding player in a vote of his peers in the players' union. Kane, a Buffalo native, became the first U.S.-born player to lead the NHL in scoring with 106 points this season, beating Dallas' Jamie Benn by a whopping 17 points. Benn and Washington goalie Braden Holtby were the other finalists for the Lindsay Award. Anze Kopitar captures Selke Award Los Angeles Kings centre Anze Kopitar was presented with the Frank J.

Jaromir Jagr takes Masterton Trophy Florida's Jaromir Jagr has won the Masterton Trophy for his perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey at the NHL Awards show. The 44-year-old forward didn't attend the ceremony in Las Vegas because he was with his ailing father. Jagr was rewarded for his seemingly ageless skills and enthusiasm. The Czech veteran scored 66 points in his 22nd NHL season to lead the Panthers, who set franchise records with 47 wins and 103 points. Barry Trotz picks up Jack Adams Award Washington Capitals' Barry Trotz picked up the Jack Adams Award, presented to the top head coach of the year.

Sedin generously donates his time and funds to children in his adopted province of British Columbia.

The Stanley Cup-winning executive made a series of savvy personnel moves to put the Penguins in position to claim the title.
Goalie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Mcdavid didn't play the full season. That's why he didn't win it. If he did win it would have been a joke of sorts. Panarin while not a pro hockey rookie was an nhl rookie and was the best rookie all season long Ducky 1
Noeller Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Regardless of games played, McDavid was the best new player in the league this past year and should have won. bigg jay 1

He was the best rookie while McDavid was injured. Noeller, bigg jay and FrostyWinnipeg 3
The Unknown Poster Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Panarin deserved it. They could add a minimum games threshold if they want, I guess. Its part of the game. If you miss half the season but are the best player over-all you're not winning the Hart either. Plus, McDavid finished 3rd, so its not like it was a choice between Panarin or McDavid. He missed more than half the season so he simply wasnt going to be given a chance. Cant win bling in a sling.

He did deserve it. I don't like that guys from other pro leagues can come in and be considered a rookie, but until they change it we'll still get the odd 24 year old rookie of the year. bigg jay 1
Goalie Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 If panarin didn't win ghost would have. McDavid finished 3rd in the voting

Would you be okay with someone coming out of the AHL at 23 or 24 and winning it?
