That's a good assessment of Karlsson, but "a defenseman best suited for a team to want the defenseman on their team to help the team win the Stanley Cup" isn't the Norris criteria either.
I'd prefer to see more all-around defensemen like Doughty or Kieth or even Ekblad to be considered, but Karlsson is probably the frontrunner based solely on his scoring prowess this season. It's not necessarily right, but realistically that's probably how things shake out at the moment.

Heading into tonight's games, the Flames have
allowed more total goals and more goals per game than the Senators.
