Eddie Shore Award


Awarded to the AHL's best defenseman.

Criteria:

1) Production in relation to peers. The Shore is not the "best offensive defenseman" award. Many other factors are at play here, and statistical production is only one part of this. It is, however, still an important part. Let it be noted that GAA for defensemen (the average goals allowed in games the defenseman played in throughout the season) is to be examined and evaluated on an equal footing with the defenseman's offensive production.

2) Individual record. Individual record becomes a very important and telling statistic. To be considered for the Shore you should be posting at minimum a respectable record.

3) Linemates. This is mainly to note that a player should not be significantly punished during consideration simply for playing with a talented line. However, players should not significantly benefit during consideration simply for playing on a below average team or with below average linemates.

4) Strength of schedule. In a league where managers (and players, to a certain extent), are able to choose who they play against, it is important to consider strength of opposition when determining individual awards. The main things to examine here are record vs playoff teams as compared to record vs non-playoff teams, as well as statistical production vs playoff teams as compared to vs non-playoff teams (note that included in this is GAA. Analyze the average goals his team allows when a defenseman plays, and not simply the defenseman's offensive output in these games). Specifically, a player who plays a majority of his games against stronger teams and has a quality record in these games should be rewarded over players who mainly play against weaker teams.

As far as individual stats are concerned, it is expected that players will get more points (and allow less goals) against weaker teams. Players should only be downgraded in this area if they acquire a significant and disproportionate amount of their points (or allow a significant and disproportionately low amount of goals) in games against non-playoff teams. In especially tight cases between players, also consider evaluating the individual lineups that players face throughout the season. Subjectively quantify teams' 1st/2nd/3rd lines, and examine how many of each the players have played against throughout the season, in combination with playoff/non playoff.

Fringe teams are Rochester, Hartford, Charlotte, Manitoba, San Diego

You should’ve nominated yourself @ChiSouthSiderr

 

@L U C K T E N

 

is what it is @Ezreal ... I guess the only stat that matters is points. Imagine having better stats in almost every other category, and not even atleast getting a nomination lol ... Ill just leave this here for the ppl to see. Onwards and upwards! Good luck to the nominees.

 

Cab is the biggest snub ^

 

its brutal man dmen who dont put up points get no love, hell of a season man

 

From the looks of that you should have gotten a nom. Lebang still wins this every day of the week though. His scoring factor is too much to ignore. He runs his lines offense from the looks of things which is very hard to do as a defenseman.

 

You deserve a nom, what is @ChiSouthSiderr doing?

 

Yes some of the noms just not in this award were wild.

 

I'd be careful defending someone who told someone they have cute kids after a failed Dox attempt

 

@L U C K T E N gets carried by @COUG4R HUNTER everyone knows that
