The Seattle Kraken’s top defenseman agrees with an idea the Avs have pondered.
“He’s a very dynamic player back there not just offensively but defensively,” Dunn said before Game 1 Tuesday at Ball Arena. “A lot of the time when guys put up numbers, don’t really look at the defensive part of the game for those players. But he does a solid job on both ends of the ice.” “I think if you want to change the definition of what the trophy is, then it should only be how many points you’re getting — but the definition of the trophy is the best all-around defenseman,” Dunn told The Post. “And sometimes it’s just always looked at as points. So yeah, it can kind of be a little mismanaged that way. I think, especially, they look at more players that maybe go further in the playoffs or get to the playoffs, even though they say that shouldn’t really matter.
Dunn’s sentiment about what the trophy often is vs. what it should be is shared by a number of players and coaches throughout the NHL, including Avalanche personnel. Coach Jared Bednar has expressed the same belief about needing to prioritize not just offensive stats. And before the playoffs, Avs goalie Pavel Francouz said the team has discussed the idea of separate individual awards for defensemen.
