Norris Trophy - Prediction

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Who do you think will win this year.

 

[DimitriL07]

Leaning Tobias Enstrom

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Makar will win, but I think this should be Werenski just because he's dragged the Blue Jackets into the playoff race. Werenski leads his teams in points, and they're still alive in the playoff race - when a defenseman leads his team in points + they make the playoffs, that should be pretty automatic imo. Obviously remains to be seen if CBJ does make it, but with what their expectations were at the beginning of the year and the fact that they're still alive in the playoff hunt at game 81 of the regular season on the back of Werenski, this should be him (But will be Makar)

It should go to the NHL's best defenseman in any given season and this year, it's Cale Makar.

There’s just no way he’s more deserving than Carl Gunnarsson or James Wisniewski

Who do you think will win this year.

Are we allowed to homer vote ?

 

[biturbo19]

Makar probably wins...but it really should be Quinton or Zachary.

Some of what you are arguing would be for a Hart trophy, being most valuable on team isn’t necessarily a big indicator for Norris

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Hutson

 

[ESH]

Not that I would vote for him, but I think Dahlin has been a clear top-5 defenseman in the league this year

 

[Fatass]

Makar gets his second Norris and Cup #2.

 

[landy]

Makar deserves Hart votes so slam dunk for Norris.

 

[avsfan9]

Anyone other than Cale Makar is the wrong answer. Funny I haven’t seen any fancy stat cards this year, Cale must be leading them all.

Adam Fantilli, Jet Greaves and Voronkov would like a word with you.

 

[Ignatius]

Heart says Zach Werenski
Brain says Cale Makar

He’s not but he hasn’t missed games

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Makar

 

[Video Nasty]

Clear winner this season.

Will already be his fifth finalist finish in a row.

I’m pretty sure only Orr (9x), Bourque (7x), Lidstrom, Pilote, and Hedman (6x apiece) have more.

Unless he misses half a season, that seems like a record destined to be broken.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Makar should win unanimously

For in a row, Harvey, Park, Potvin, and Robinson join too.

 

[stevo61]

Adam Fantilli, Jet Greaves and Voronkov would like a word with you.

What would they like to say?

 

[Tralfamadore]

77% of of the NHL players that were polled also voted Makar to be the best defenceman in the league. He's the clear Norris winner.

 

[Coffee]

Heart says Zach Werenski
Brain says Cale Makar

I know we always tell you to go against your head as a general rule of thumb.

But brain is right

 

[Video Nasty]

For in a row, Harvey, Park, Potvin, and Robinson join too.

Yeah, they’re at five too. Went the easy route this time, listing the only ones with more.
