    Default Vote for Norris Trophy Winner

    The Norris trophy is awarded to the defenseman who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position.

    If the NHL regular season has closed its doors for 2019-20, let's take a look at what the trophy situation might look like. Next up, a case for the defence.

    Last years winner was Mark Giordano CGY

    My nominees (listed alphabetically):

    John Carlson WSH (69-15-60-75) - Top scoring blueliner by 10 points, 49 even-strength points (tops among defensemen), averaged tenth most TOI (24:38)
    Victor Hedman TB (66-11-44-55) - Third in defenseman scoring, 33 even-strength points (fifth amongst defenders), averaged 24:04 TOI (15th most)
    Roman Josi NSH (69-16-49-65) - Second in defenseman scoring, 42 even-strength points (second only to Carlson), averaged third most TOI in NHL (25:47)

    I think Carlson had this wrapped up after the first month.

    I almost thing too much value is given to point production with this award. He's going to walk with it.

    He's not the best defensively so -- really, probably shouldn't get it.

    Points are supposed to only be one part of the award, but once guys like Paul Coffey, P.K. Subban and Erik Karlsson won the award, points are rewarded more than defensive prowess.

    That would mean introducing those pesky analytics into the conversation

    This and the Selke are two awards that could really use their inclusion.

    That or create a best defensive defenseman award

    This has been my argument for ages but unfortunately until they offer more than one trophy strictly for Dmen, its what they focus on.

    This one is pretty easy. Hard to imagine anyone other than Carlson taking this, analytics or not.

    Once they start awarding it for players who can play in both ends at a very high end, not just in the offensive zone.

    Nik Lidstrom was one of the best two way Dmen the game has ever seen. The guy was amazing in both ends.

    Never? Lidstrom was one of the best ever, however, there is another defenseman who might warrant re-naming a trophy...Robert Orr. Just my 4 cents.

    If it was me I would pick Josi. But voters look too much at points. So Carlson will get it.
