The NHL continues to announce finalists for individual awards for the 2019-20 season. On Monday, the league announced each team's nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, given to the player who, according to the league, "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.”
This year's nominee from the Buffalo Sabres for the King Clancy Trophy is captain Jack Eichel. It is his second consecutive year where he has represented the Sabres as the nominee for the award.
