2053/2054
July 1th – one of the biggest aqusiotons in Free Agents in Red Wings history? Cullen Borsato, offensive dynamo from Canada, signed a 3-years deal with average salary 12 180 000. Still only 25 years old, 2-time Hart Trophy a 3-time Selke Trophy winner is ready to rock in motor city.
And he really was a star. He won the Art Ross Trophy and Maurice Richard Trophy race with 106 points and 49 goals. Missed 5 games.
What is also surprising, he wasn't nominated for Hart Trophy. This is some bug in the game, because there is too many Defensman nominated every year. Sometimes all 3 nominated players are D. What is also strange, this guys were left from Norris Trophy. But lets move.
Red Wins goalie Andreas Bergström has a wonderful season with 12 SO. Nominated for Vezina Trophy. Interesting is, he is only 2 and half star ranked goalie. Won his first Vezina.
Red Wings Defensman Gene Farley has his second nomination for Norris Trophy in his hands.
Anton Söder and Pedro Valentin are nominated for Selke Trophy. Söder was the winner.
That all means, Red Wings won Presidents Trophy with 130 points and 62 wins. Very close to NHL records. But there is another power team – New York Rangers. They won 61 games with 127 points. And also Winnipeg Jets do have strong season (129 points). This 3 powerhouses had very big goal difference. See the picture.
Funny. In the playoffs, both Rangers and Red Wings were eliminated in second round. Winnipeg Jets won the Stanley Cup.
