Overlooked is Morgan Rielly of Toronto. He played defence where it is much harder to have a low number of penalty minutes. Rielly finished third among defencemen in scoring with only 14 PIMs. I would have had him there over Ryan O'Reilly.

Yeah thats pretty good for a d man, I agree. I just looked at the past 20 winners of the Lady Bing and only Brian Campbell won it as a dman...

Brian Campbell, Red Kelly (3 times as a defenceman and a fourth time as a forward) and Bill Quackenbush are the only defencemen ever to win the Lady Byng. For the record the award has been around since 1925.

With the talk about him being a finalist for the Norris Trophy, I never once thought he had the stats to be Lady Byng finalist.
