Great move by the NHL Players Association to rename the Pearson Award after Ted Lindsay.  The Ted Lindsay Award is the top award an individual NHL player can receive as it is for the “Most Outstanding Player” as voted on by the players.  By the way, Gordie “Mr. Hockey Union Buster” Howe does not have any major awards named after him.
