There was a tweet this morning that put a lot of Norris talk into perspective:
Cörey Masisak @cmasisak22
How I'd line up Norris: 1 Chara 2 Keith 3 Karlsson 4 Pietrangelo 5 Giordano 6 Hedman 7 Vlasic 8 Subban 9 McDonagh 10 Doughty 11 Weber 12 OEL
So... a couple observations:
1. He didn't include Suter in his top 12, and it's apparent to me that Suter will be one of the 3 finalists when the NHL reveal their award choices.
2. It's a damn crowded field. Fowler (ANA) and Niskanen (PIT) would round out the top 15 in my opinion.
It would be pretty hard not to include Chara in the top 3, and I'm partial to Drew Doughty because I think he really affects the play on the ice for both teams when he's asserting himself (and he does, for much of the 26 minutes he gets -on the average- nightly)
So, do you REALLY think Weber has a shot? Personally, I think it's about a 0% chance he'd be in the top 3, and about a 10% chance he'd be in the top 5.
Care to post your top 5?
Here's mine:
1. Chara
2. Suter
3. Doughty
4. Keith
5. Pietrangelo
