Some people shockingly think that at least a passing consideration needs to be given to who's the best defensively. Crazy idea I know. Not sure why anybody would want to judge defensemen based on defensive play.

Don't give me crap about how the rest of the world views this award. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that few people who actually do hand out the hardware agree with your assessment.
Nik Lidstrom was the king of the Norris for a reason, because he was the best all around D man in the game during his time. I don't disagree with your take on things but I don't agree with it all either. D men who have the offensive skill that Karlsson doe deserves just as much recognition for their efforts as well.
