In case you missed it this past weekend, while performing his usual broadcast duties for the TNT crew, The Great One Wayne Gretzky made an impassioned case for the NHL to introduce a new award: The Bobby Orr Trophy.
In Gretzky's own words, Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe are the greatest players in NHL history and deserve to be honored with an award named in their honor(s). Gretzky really pushed the Bobby Orr Trophy idea though, saying that that Norris Trophy which is awarded annually to the NHL's best defenseman should essentially be sawed in half and that the NHL should honor the best offensive defenseman and the best defensive defenseman each season.
“We need a Bobby Orr Trophy, for the most points for a defenseman, and then (a trophy) for the best defensive defenseman. Have two awards. You should honor Bobby Orr, him and Gordie Howe, the greatest players ever,” The Great One said
Honestly, I like this idea. In fact, make the Orr Trophy an easy one. No votes... you get the most points, you win. Just like the Art Ross Trophy or the Rocket Richard Trophy. Love it!
