Lindholm, Weber, OEL are my next 3. Heiskanen, Chabot, Dahlin could be in the mix too but I’ll go the safe picks, especially for dmen.

Shea Weber should get this. I know he's had injury troubles the last 2 seasons, but before that he had 9 straight top 10 norris finishes. He still played at an incredible level all of last season after his return. If it wasn't for lack of games played, he'd have gotten some Norris votes too i'm sure.

I know he's older and he has a contract so i'm not saying you take him moving forward above some players here - but if it's about picking someone to play an important 10 game stretch starting in October - he's easily the best option left.

McDonagh defends as well as just about anyone and better than all but a few, so..

Lindholm or McAvoy.

Went with Lindholm because he's closer to winning and I figured I'd help him.

As a Jet fan I’m picking Morrisey, he was better than Buff and Trouba together!

I still dont get the Lindholm obsession on HF. Sportsnet had him around #25 for defencemen on their top 100 players list last year which I thought was a good but not perfect list and he had a worse season this year. No outlets consider him a top D but because his XGF is high hes apparently a superstar

Agreed but why is Ekholm still even an option?

He needs to be voted in like now.

OEL is up there with the most overrated players in the league. He would be a second pairing guy on a good team.
