Hughes is the worst dman i ever seen in his own zone.
Norris is all about offense anyway.

With all due respect, Hughes couldn’t even dream to fill the shoes of dmen like Josi and Makar.

Why would he want to fill their shoes?
You should watch hockey more closely Bud….
Really …..maybe just enjoy the current crop of top dmen that are in the League

I can't bring myself to fight on that hill anymore. Aberrations can aberrate. Don't care anymore.
Not sure anybody can poke holes in what Quinn did this year and how he drove the bus on a team that nobody thought would be near this good. He was just outstanding all year. Josi maybe has a case based on second half only and I would still unquestionably take Makar for “whose got the top gear/playoffs” but again, that’s not what this award is for.
People can complain about the award being all about offense but sorry, all the most impactful defenseman in the league these days are offensive defenseman. Its simply the more dominant, relevant skillset. Quinn deserves it and he deserves it without any of this faux outrage about “oh yeah this award isn’t even about defense” BS.

Nothing comment. As if Hughes or Josi would care about the Norris vs the cup.
Only a d-man from a Canadian team would get these galaxy brain takes about him.
Just so much reeking jealousy.

Throwing that generational term around these days like it's candy. Guy has never won a point or goal race, and this is the first year he's ever finished top 4 in points.

Why even bother chiming in if you have no idea what you're talking about?

hughes had a slightly better season. makar chose a shot at the cup over the norris
Better how? You would think you want your best defenceman on the ice when you're killing penalties.....

Josi is the correct answer
to the question “name an underrated elite NHLer”.
But, this is Quinn Hughes’ year.

Looks like his deployment works. He is without a doubt the most important skater for the canucks and they are a better team than the Avs in the season.
