Norris Trophy - Prediction

[Cool Hand Puke]

What would they like to say?

They had solid years and carried their fair share of the load to get to where they are

Significantly less than Monahan or Marchenko who are also well behind Werenski for overall impact on this season

My point still stands that Werenski isn’t doing the carrying as some would like to believe

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Jake Sanderson the best all-around defenseman in this league.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Makar will probably win but I voted for Werenski

He pretty much draggued a mid roster (with solid young elements on it tho) to one game away from the playoffs
There's no (not yet) all star cast to help Werenski, unlike Makar

 

[Three On Zero]

Makar deserves Hart votes so slam dunk for Norris.

No, no he doesn’t.

 

[Three On Zero]

Werenski had the most consistent season.

Makar was a pylon for part of the season and Hughes missed too much time.


Norris needs to be split into two trophies, one for best defenceman and one for the most points as a defenceman

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Jake Sanderson the best all-around defenseman in this league.

...and David Savard should get votes for his ability to sit on pucks and kill the clock...

Makar.

I'm curious how high a rookie like Hutson ranks. He's not going to win, and I don't thionk he's going to be a finalist either, but I'm curious if he finishes 4th or 5th, or lower. Phenoemanl season, and super valuable for Montreal (his emergency in ~December helped turned the season around, and helped Habs rise from bottom of conference to playoffs).

I agree with those saying Werenski had a great seasons too, and I expect he finishes #2, but he won't win.

I'd wager he'll get a couple higher placed votes from some outlets, but ultimately he'll fall way short of sniffing top 5. Players like Hedman and Morrissey had there typical great seasons, and then you have young surgers like Dahlin and Sanderson who will push for a ton of votes. Even Harley might gain some traction due to his story after Heiskanen was injured.

So… Makar wins both? As he had the most points and was the best defensman!

Which part of the season was he a pylon?

 

[dmac7719]

Which part of the season was he a pylon?

I think he mixed up Werenski and Makar

As Werenski was the one that had that awful stretch not long after the 4 Nations (basically, the stretch that took him out of the running)

Lopsided result
