This award goes to the players from every team who best exemplify being "Good in the room" but not so much on the ice and often get paid very well to do so.

This has been the Ivan Provorov Award for quite some time now, but he actually had a good year last year, and unfortunately for him and his family, he will not get top honors this year. Gudbranson has been a solid ambassador for Hymes for quite some time as well and although he does have a previous award I feel his second entry into the Hymes lore is warranted here. After an injury filled last year I imagine Gudbranson will have plenty of time to prepare for his reach around services while watching most game from the stands and when the bell does ring for on ice services, he will provide his usual less than stellar contributions. Not bad for 1.75 mil. 

Although when I do my all Pearlo Allstar Reach Around Team Soderblom will probably be one of the goalies I have to hand this to Greenway for his work with the Sabres as I can only imagine he was provided 4 Mil for primarily for his off ice expertise. I am not sure I have heard anyone mentioned as much as Jordan for his room abilities. Might be one of the more on ice capable players we see on this list, but his locker room legend is to strong to pass on.

The Avalanche seemed like a pretty uptight bunch in the playoffs last year especially MacKinnon and then there was the Makar injury which may have been avoided if they had a proper reach around guy in the room. Alas the Avs may have found their guy in Vinnie Hinostroza who has fallen off a cliff with on ice ability the last two years and may be the perfect guy for some healthy Hymes application prowess this year. He does have a two-way contract so he better get primed quick in the ways of room satisfaction or it will be bus riding in the minors for him. If he stays up in the show he will probably be left holding the bag though......

Dallas Is another team that has not valued a healthy "reach around" guy in their lineup for a while but Faksa takes the award for his penchant for winning faceoffs and not doing much else at an impressive 2 mil a year. The Hymes orders in his account increased immensely last year so it appears he has embraced his roll away from the ice.

A guaranteed first ballad Hymes Hall Of Famer whenever he retires. Ben Chiarot will probably have a statue erected in front of the Hymes Center when or if he retires. Ben has exhibited monumentally poor offensive driving and defensive play for over a decade now while making millions and being used in a top four deployment. Chiarot is practically the face of the Hymes brand and will be forever exalted as the epitome of the honor. We can only hope that Ben opens up a program so future "reach around" players can perfect their craft,
