The Official FOGSquad Awards

Welcome back to FOGSquad! With the end of the '15-'16 season, we thought it was appropriate to share the hypothetical trophies we have given players, all of which have been assigned through the analysis of countless hours of data gathered over the course of the year. Without further ado, the Official FOGSquad Awards!

The nominees are:
  • Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
  • Max Domi, Arizona Coyotes
  • Jack Eichel, Buffalo Sabres
  • Aaron Ekblad, Florida Panthers
  • Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers
And the winner is: Aaron Ekblad! Congratulations to the man and the tush. If you ask me, though, the winner is all of us, right?
