Flyers end-of-season awards 2016: Who wins the "class guy" and "heart" awards?

Yesterday we kicked off our series of posts looking at the Flyers' end-of-year awards, as we decided who should win the Barry Ashbee Trophy (given to the team's best defenseman) and the Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy (given to the team's most improved player).

Today, we'll look at the other three awards that are voted on by various entities. In this post, we'll do a two-fer and look at both the Yanick Dupre Class Guy Award and the Gene Hart Memorial Award. The Dupre award is given to the player who "best illustrates character, dignity and respect for the sport both on and off the ice" as decided by the media, while the Hart award is given to he "who demonstrated the most 'heart' during the season" as decided by the Flyers' Fan Club.
