There are of course those who are going to say he won the award strictly based on reputation (I’m already reading a ton of that on social media), but the fact of the matter is this is now his record breaking 5th! Selke award.
Is it safe to say he should be viewed as the greatest defensive forward of all-time?
Frank Nighbor, Bob Gainey, Guy Carbonneau, Bobby Clarke, Jere Lehtinen, Pavel Datsyuk, Claude Provost, Craig Ramsay, Mike Peca etc..
Where do you rank Bergeron, and how much does a 5th Selke do for his all-time legacy? Surely he’ll be a 1st ballot HOFer.
Would there be any interest in a HoH All-time Defensive forward ranking project?
