Chara has been horrible this year.

Suter is the only defenseman nominated for this award and should win, but he probably won't.

Originally, my gut told me earlier this season that Letang was gonna get this. Now? I'm thinking Subban may win it. Either one of those two will probably get it due to the large favoritism they'll be shown in the media. I'd like to see Suter get it though.

Subban may be a dink but god damn is he talented

At the beginning of the year I felt that this could be Chara's trophy to lose, considering Lidstrom retired and Weber lost his partner. But Chara laid a pooper of a year and showed he is getting older. Gunna need more depth on D real soon.

Suter wins, and easily too. He had 6 points less than Subban and has carried the Wild defensively. Also logged more minutes than any other dman.

Suter will win

Honestly, as much as I don't like Subban, he is a hell of a player and better than Letang. If Letang wins I would probably be more mad than if Subban did haha

Subban is an outstanding offensive d-man who should be an easy walk-off winner of this award except he gets major demerits because of his extreme doosh-baggery. I cannot get passed that so in my view he is a non-factor other than he holds a nomination.

I really, really like Letang.

My allegiance won't allow me to think anything other than Suter winning this in a landslide victory...but I think Subban wins it...and I still won't care.

Chara didn't deserve a nomination, although Letang (and to some degree Subban) being nominated shows just how big of a joke this award has become. Suter SHOULD run away with this, but he won't.

I don't know. I love Chara. But he's been pretty horrible.
To each his own. I just can't label it as a horrible season. I'd concede that he's been horrible by the enormous standard we hold him to, but I mostly reserve the term for guys like Phaneuf.

Hell baby

Well put. He wasn't Norris good and he didn't play up to his usual level this year for the most part, but he was still damn good.

If he was "horrible" like some of you suggest, we would not be a playoff team.
