Not only was Sekera outstanding on defence, he proved that he is deserving of $6.5 million a year. Here’s how he stacked up this season.
Overall Impact
Sekera took a huge step forward this season and built on his all-around game. Combining his shutdown mentality with a bit of offensive edge, the 30-year-old was strong at both ends of the rink. He was a leader on and off the ice, and also showed potential to take his game to the next level, even after years in the league.
Not to mention, he was a role model and a presence for the Oilers relatively young blue line.
