Re: Norris Finalists Announced
It'll be Quinn.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
Not a very competitive race for this one
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
I will be disappointed if it isnt a landslide for Quinn. Some of the possession metrics for Quinn were off the charts this season compared to his peers
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
Hughes. Simply been the best out of the bunch this year. Metrics support this.

The other two are far from being slouches, far from it, but Hughes has had a season which I think sets him apart. Next year, who knows.

Re: Norris Finalists Announced
Q.Hughes for me, by a significant margin.
Hard to argue against a guy who was top1 in D-points and top5 in D +/-.
Hughes was +38 on a team that was +56.
The guy that had an absolutely fantastic underappreciated year was Victor Hedman.
The guy put up 76pts in 78gp with a +18 on a team that was only +25.
(And TB had a ton of PPP... so I'm guessing they were actually "net negative" at even-strength. Found it... yup, by doing sort on NHL.com, TB was 172gf vs 190ga at 5v5... a "net negative" even-strength team. That makes Hedman's +/-, especially relative to his teammates... all the more impressive.)
Hedman's D-partners this year at even-strength:
598 minutes with Darren Raddysh!
400 minutes with Nick Perbix!
271 minutes with Erik Cernak.
I'm not going to "down vote" anybody from playing with a quality partner...
But Hedman could very well make a case as being the 2nd best D-man in the NHL this year.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
That Hughes family has a damn fine gene pool... could go down as the greatest hockey family ever when they're all retired.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
Hughes v Josi but I’ll go with Quinn who was hot from the start.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
NHL.com awarded this to Quinn Hughes in November. “It’s his year, blah blah.” Yes, he had a good year and didn’t get injured, but Josi honestly has the more complete game.
Re: Norris Finalists Announced
I went with Josi. When it comes to pure offense, Hughes may be better, but Josi is doing it all on the defensive end too while his offense is still elite. And he does it with a far lesser supporting cast - he's simply the driver of the NSH bus while Hughes has some other true elite guys on his roster. Substract Hughes from Van and they're still dangerous, substract Josi from Nsh and they're pretty toothless apart from Forberg.
