It's pretty much the Phil Housley trophy now. Whoever can put up the most points

I agree with you about the award, and I agree that Doughty is a better defenseman than either of Subban or Karlsson. But he didn't have as good of a season as is his norm, and the award is for the individual season. Honestly, being nominated is more on his reputation as better than anything. The fact that he hasn't one one to date is ludicrous.
And this may sound homer, but I personally don't get why Gio missing the last 15 games should completely disqualify him. He was the best defenseman when he went down and the best all season. So he gets hurt and now he's not the best?
