It's hard to argue with these results. You won't find a better two-way player than Bergeron, who was recently named a Selke Trophy finalist for the 10th year in a row. A lot is made of Bergeron's defensive and faceoff brilliance, and deservedly so, but he's also been a terrific offensive player throughout his career.
Neely gives honest take on disastrous 2015 draft for Bruins
Bergeron has scored 20 or more goals in 10 of the last 11 seasons. The only season during that span in which he didn't score 20-plus goals was the 2012-13 campaign shortened by a lockout.
