Anyway back on topic after watching the Adventures of Chris Letang show this spring I feel it would be a travesty if he wins this award. He's a rover not a defenseman as there isn't any 'defense' in his game.
Letang is just so much fun to watch, though!!

I've never liked that the league gives out awards for positions as it helps prevent potential evolution of the game. It becomes even worse when different sets of rules apply to different positions...anyway, likely the wrong thread for this tangent... I agree with your take on Letang's style of play. Usually, I prefer defensive D, but I find Letang a lot of fun to watch. I also consider him to be a very valuable player.
