I would gladly sacrifice one of Nylander or Marner, for example, for a stud #1 D. Especially one who has experience winning Stanley Cups.
That is not many.

Matt said he learned about it during the game. Perhaps Joe didn't close the deal until game time. A deal ain't a deal until the GMs say it's a done deal (not sure if a fax is necessary). And I'd be surprised if there wasn't an NHL rule about the immediate need to stop playing upon being traded. (Has a player ever been traded but still went ahead and played the game with their old team? Conversely: Can you recall a player who sat out of a game because he was expected to be traded, but hadn't yet? I don't mean situations where there is anger between management and the player that resulted in the non-dress call.)He played almost 2 minutes and quite frankly, I have a tough time believing those 2 minutes was such a event changer that Sakic wanted him to play if the trade didn't go through... 2 minutes later. Shouldn't have dressed or at least not play.
You're measuring by a single metric.
Same metric as Burns won his norris based on.
Burns also generated a ****load of shots as well.
I won't deny that the Norris these days is more points based than anything else, but Karlsson, while being outstanding offensively, isn't talked about as one of the best defenders in the league.. and he certainly gets enough press to be noted as such if he actually was.
Chara and Doughty.True, no Norris winner since Lidström have been among the best defensively in the league ...
Chara and Doughty.

Erik Karlsson up to 15 points in his first 10 games this year. He's 1 point behind Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk in 7 fewer games. Guy is just on different planet than the rest of the Dmen when it comes to offensive ability and consistency. I just marvel at how elite EK is and still is undervalued by so many. Brent Burns and Drew Doughty winning Norris trophies over him was an absolute joke.
