I honestly can't ever see Slavin winning the Norris. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see 50+ points coming from him and that's what he'd need to do to just to be considered, regardless of how good defensively he is.
Secondly, the competition is just incredible. Hedman is only 26 so he will be in his prime during most of Slavin's prime. EK, Josi and Doughty are only 27. Then there are all the guys his age or younger: Jones, Werenski, Provorov, Trouba, Lindholm, Parayko, Sergachev, along with guys not even in the league yet (Dahlin, etc..).
I think Slavin is fantastic and am glad we have him, just don't think Norris is anywhere in the cards.
