We have to redefine the Norris for Best Defencemen, it should be for the guys that log big minutes, match up against top lines, lay the body, play the puck and are at the top of their class in all areas of the ice.

You do that and you'll see guys like Weber, Suter, Gio, Brodie, etc, really rise to the top.

Sure, the Karlssons and Subbans score the goals and light up the powerplay, but IMO that isnt enough. Or at least it shouldnt be.

Agreed, the trophy should go to the best all-around guy, which IMO was Giordano this year.
