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.

Like I said above, the best "defensive forwards" are often so in large part because they are not good enough to score at a high level in the NHL. The NHL awards should all be reserved for the very best, most skilled players in the world, which will always preclude those players who play nothing but great defence, because this is the only way they could play in the NHL in the first place.
