Let the league get acquainted to him. He's like lidstrom in he does everything right, but not flashy. Not this year. In time, he's definitely gaining that respect/recognition.
Picture Hedman as the water in a pool. The NHL is a toe, which dips inside Hedman to see how good he is. If it's warm, he'll win a Norris, and we have a pool party.

Victor Hedman has 15/1 odds for the Norris.
It's pretty widely acknowledged that Weber should have one. I bet Hedman doesn't get one before him.
This is some ridiculous reasoning. The Norris is a season to season award. The Norris is not an award that honors ones career. If Weber never has another season where he is the best defenseman in the league, but is always second best, then he does not deserve the norris: In that case He deserves nominations.
Given the difference in Hedman and Weber's ages, and that Hedman is on an upward trajectory (while Weber has leveled off, even if it is leveled off quite high), playing for what looks to be a strong team, I will say that Hedman and Weber have an equal chance to win a Norris over what is left of their respective careers.
If he gets 65+ points and tampa is tops in the league? I'm sure he'll get a lot of consideration.
Flames fan coming in peace. (mods, sorry if this shouldn't be in here. Please move it if so.)
I was having a debate with a friend of mine (Bolts fan) about a hypothetical situation. Let's assume Calgary landed the 1st overall pick (McDavid) would lightning fans do this trade:
CGY:
Hedman
TB:
McDavid
I argued that that TB wouldn't make this trade, but my friend insisted they would after recently bringing in Carle, Stralman, Garisson.
Love to hear your thoughts? Looking forward to seeing you guys go deep this year!

There is no way we trade Hedman for a 1st. It ain't happening. Would you trade Subban for the #1? I think Hedman > Subban, but that is just me.
Then Calgary isn't going to trade him or the first overall to us for Hedman.
Yeah. No one's trading 1st overall. Although I'd love to hear the offers that will inevitably be made. They're likely to be insane.
Who do you think makes the biggest offer? Toronto? Montreal?
A lot of what Toronto can offer is going to depend on how their season goes. I could see them offering top 5 pick + Kessel - and that would get it done.
