I am skeptical of something like this being pulled off, so I guess that's where we differ.
GMs seem to be more aware of who are good defensive players actually are. They are often picked for national teams and get real minutes.
Perhaps if the GMs/coaches voted instead of the writers, we'd see some change.

As long as awards are voted on by writers, instead of panels or maybe GMs, the voting will be screwed up.
Hell, I always think the Selke probably doesn’t go to the best defensive forward, it goes to the best offensive forward who also happens to play decent D.
