Where's PK Subban?
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 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.

It's a product of everyone that votes for the winners

This one is pretty easy. Hard to imagine anyone other than Carlson taking this, analytics or not.
When do they re-name it the Lidstrom Award

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