Looking forward to when the next player like Orr comes along and revolutionizes the game. Defenseman who won the Art Ross twice and the Hart three times.

What’s wrong with a defensive dman award, for guys like Tanev? And what’s wrong with it being named for a defensive Dman?
Orr revolutionized the game, but at the same time he’s a huge reason defensive men aren’t recognized as much. TBF, I’m not sure he revolutionized the position as much as he was just unique at it. Not many guys after him played that way - Guys like Coffey, Karlsson, Subban sometimes would rush like Orr did, but nowhere near as often.
