yes!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EdJovanovski]

I think he’ll win it

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

He should win it too.

 

[Lion Hound]

Hope he wins...This team needs a Win!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I think he’ll win it

There's no way he wins it with the Rangers missing the playoffs. Journalists are f***ing Neanderthals like GMs. Every freaking award that's based on voting is a mess.

Selke and Norris are probably the worst. Always goes to a player based on reputation, not recent performance.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Glad he’s nominated, not holding my breath he wins although he should

 

[Crease]

Would be surprised if Fox wins. Not that I don’t think he deserves it. The voters care about playoffs, and also seem to think a candidate has to “pay his dues” before finally winning the award. Like with Lundqvist, who was a finalist several times before winning the Vezina in his non-best season.

I agree that he probably doesn't win it. But, the reputation pedigree may work in his favor, if he can get close to his performance next season.

 

[Mac n Gs]

He absolutely should win this year, but it’ll be Hedman because his team is still in the playoffs

 

[SA16]

Should we sell high?

 

[JT Kreider]

Scared to come to this thread after all my "He is not nearly as good as McDonagh was in 2012-14" hot takes

exactly this.

The only thing that could be a factor: Hedman has already won it. Outside chance Fox can get the "shiny new toy" treatment.

Fox, also, is the best player on the Rangers. He stands out more than anyone.

 

[Leonardo87]

Fox deserves to win it, but he likely won't because Hedman is Hedman and he plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning who will likely win another cup this year. I think Makar missing time will hurt his votes but he also deserves it more than Hedman.

 

[SML2]

If it's a regular season award, you should not be looking at playoffs.

 

[pjcnyr22]

You learn something new everyday. According to TSN we drafted him in the third round of the 2016 nhl draft


Victor Hedman, Cale Makar and Adam Fox named finalists for Norris Trophy - TSN.ca

 

[nyr2k2]

Seems like it's Hedman's to lose.

 

[LokiDog]

Especially since he likely doesn’t win due to Hedman’s reputation, couldn’t he have waited until after he signed a nice, comfy 6Mx8 extension before becoming this big of a star?

 

[NYSPORTS]

$$$$

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Hedman will likely win it based on reputation and well he's also very good, but just like Bergeron will win the selke even if someone is as good or having a better year as long as either one is good it'll be theirs to lose.

 

[cwede]

$$$$

just makes his price higher on next deal,
don't care much about whether our guys get awards,
especially for a not-great, no-post-season season

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Would be surprised if Fox wins. Not that I don’t think he deserves it. The voters care about playoffs, and also seem to think a candidate has to “pay his dues” before finally winning the award. Like with Lundqvist, who was a finalist several times before winning the Vezina in his non-best season.

I don't know how you could say that 11-12 wasn't Lundqvist's best season.

 

[Raspewtin]

I really hope Hedman's below average final 1.5 months costs him the award. not that it should've ever been his.
