Haram list
Doesn't even include MACKENZIE WEEGAR
- NHL leader in defenseman ES points
- Top 3 defensive defenseman analytically
- Plays with Gustav Forsling (no disrespect, but not exactly Nicklas Lidstrom if you get what I mean)
- Has a sick flow
Rielly on here is a joke. McAvoy, Chychrun, Weegar all deserve to be here over him. I have hedman winning the Norris. It’s him and fox that are the front runners tbh

They might as well have pulled names from a hat. How many coaches are really paying attention to teams that aren't in their Division? It's mainly name recognition for a few of these guys.
Chychrun, Weegar, McAvoy all deserve it over Rielly and Heiskanen.
IMO
Fox deserves to win it.
Makar, Theodore next.
Then Hedman.
Only this year for Heiskanen though. Last year in the playoffs he was the best d-man out there. He only had a down year this year because of this weird situation. Truly a shame that he couldn’t produce at his full capacity this year.
How is Petry not on this list, seriously he is soooo underrated! He is the only D man that is top 10 in Points (8th), Goals (3rd) and assists (10th). Top 10 in almost every stat category on NHL.com. has great advanced stats as well. The guy deserves some credit, he deserves to be in the Norris conversation but because he is 1. A Hab and 2. Not a super star player he won't get a nomination which is criminal.
