  • NHL Awards 2012: Norris Trophy Selection


    Guest

    Continuing our wandering through the NHL Awards pre-season, today we look at the Norris Trophy. Awarded annually to the league's top defenseman, it likely should just be renamed the Nicklas Lidstrom Trophy and given to him on a permanent basis, even after retirement.

    You can also see who the folks over at the NHL hub picked.

    Nathan

    Winner: Erik Karlsson

    Nominees: Shea Weber & Zdeno Chara

    Bruce

    Winner: Erik Karlsson

    Nominees: Shea Weber & Zdeno Chara

    Bryan

    Winner: Shea Weber

    Nominees: Nik Lidstrom & Erik Karlsson

    Rationale: It's Weber's time. Much like the development of a defenseman, winning the Norris takes not just one great season. Sure, it's an annual award, but the fact that Lidstrom won so many despite some sub-elite seasons shows that this is an award based on reputation. Karlsson is likely due the honor, but he won't stand a chance in the voting.

    Winner: Shea Weber

    Nominess: Zdeno Chara & Erik Karlsson

    Rationale: Weber is the perfect mix of offense and defense. He's downright scary too.
