Aside from the Rocket which is pure production based, most of these rewards involve reputation and a body of work over time to.a certain degree. For a dark horse to emerge they would need to be exceptional. For the sake of this discussion I would go with a guy like Jake Sanderson for the Norris.

Kaprizov winning the Hart.
He 100% deserves more consideration for the Hart and if the Wild make the playoffs I think he'll be up there in voting. Guy is severely underrated around the league. I think if he plays the full season he should also crack 50 goals and finish towards the top in the Rocket Race.

I always thought that the vocals on Dark Horse were not as bad as generally thought. Not sure if that is worth an award though.
It's definitely one of the worst songs in otherwise essential Katy Perry album. To make his question easier to understand, OP should've asked for Walking on Air or Double Rainbow Award winner. Now it's a bit too esoteric to me. Like who is going to bring everyone down?

That's easy, Josh Anderson.
