Read my previous post. Lots of guys have won the Norris without leading the League in defenseman scoring. One of the criticisms of the Norris in recent times is that it does go to the leading point producer far too often.
To your second point are you suggesting that Erik Karlsson is top three in the league in defensive ability? If not, why should Doughty have to be top three in scoring?
I know guys like to cheer for their own players but it's not as if Doughty is a stiff. He was, far and away, the best defenseman for Canada in our last two gold medal winning Olympics. I don't begrudge him his Norris.

I just don't understand how you guys see a conspiracy taking place with the very writers who have twice honoured Erik Karlsson with Norris trophies.

because the reasons that were given by those people. Past accomplishment and a lack of the award came up often this year.I just don't understand how you guys see a conspiracy taking place with the very writers who have twice honoured Erik Karlsson with Norris trophies.
Aren't the Norris winners usually top 5 in scoring though? That was more my question.
I personally only get annoyed with Doughty winning because of the reasons like "he's due", "he is a beast in the playoffs", "he got snubbed last year". Those are NOT reasons to vote for the guy. I think he deserved it but I also think the media pumped his tires hugely. And would have regardless of how he played. I feel that this was decided long before it should have been.
They should let the players vote this award.
Why not? Higher points per game than Karlsson and his team made the playoffs. Outside of Washington not many people felt that Green was robbed either.
Doughty can join Subban in the asterisk club.

In 1983 Rod Langway scored 32 points while Paul Coffey scored 96. Langway won the Norris.
In 1984 Rod Langway scored 33 points compared to 126 for Coffey. Langway won the Norris.
If Karlsson got robbed it pales in comparison to some previous Norris votes.
