Because he has not been a top 10 D ever and is old. Nobody has won Norris on western canadian team. 1 player won 1st time in the 30s ever (31yo Chara in BOS).
He is 5th in scoring, behind both Burns and Carlsson who regularly finish higher on both the norris voting and the Allstar voting. He is well behind Morgan Reilly, who plays for mass market team in TOR with lots of media coverage.
Literally he has zero chance of winning the Norris. The front runner is the one leading the D in points and the trophy itself is media coverage contest.
2 players. Lidstrom was 30.
