Datsyuk wins 3rd straight Byng honor: Red Wings C Pavel Datsyuk won the Lady Byng Trophy Thursday as the league's most gentlemanly player and the Selke Trophy as top defensive forward. He's the first player in 73 years to win the Lady Byng three seasons in a row but said the Selke meant more, testimony to his two-way game. (Updated 06/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Datsyuk won the Lady Byng in 2006 and 2007, and become the first player to win it three times in a row since the New York Rangers' Frank Boucher captured the award from 1933-35. Boucher won the award seven times in eight seasons. Datsyuk finished fourth in league in scoring with a career-high 97 points (31 goals, 66 assists) in 82 games, and led all NHL players with a plus-41 rating. Datsyuk has the best year of his career in 2007-08 and that's a scary thought. He could reach 100 points for the first time as soon as next season, so that makes him a valuable Fantasy option come Draft Day 2008. (Updated 06/13/2008).
