The Norris is Now A 5 Horse Race

And that argument doesn’t apply to Vancouver fans and their Hugues supporting’s cherry picking stats?

Which stats would those be? He leads the league is how many different ones?

sucks Fox got injured this year, he's been fantastic

Hughes finishes with 92 points, +38, and nearly 100 minutes of offensive zone time possession.

It's a crime if he doesn't win.

Hughes would get my vote

Hughes should win it. The only argument Makar has is 21 goals and a better PPG (1.17 vs 1.12) but he doesn't look as impactful on the ice as he usually does. Something is holding his skating back.

...

Panarin's 20% CorsiRel is insane, and the among the difference makers in my opinion. ...

With an offensive zone start % of 85.1 (per hockey-reference, all situations) his CF%Rel should be insane. Similarly, at even strength is CF%Rel is 11.0 which is excellent but not surprising given his 79.3% OZS%.

It’s Hughes for sure.

Makar has been far too uneven (I do think this is going to be fairly representative of a Makar “down year” which is still pretty impressive).

I think Josi came on a bit too late but he’s definitely second. This guy is aging so well…I mean it’s like he’s not even aging.

Fox missed a few too many games and I just think Hughes has been even more impactful for this team…which is saying more about Quinn than anything about Fox who always is impressive and in the center of the Rangers’ team success.

Quinn’s gonna be taking home the trophy, this one is easy.
