Except that the Norris typically goes to one of the highest scoring dmen in the league regardless of their defensive ability.
Hamilton could win a Norris if he scores another 20 points. Will that happen in CAR? I'm skeptical.
Will Hamilton ever be considered one of the top 5 overall defensemen in the league? Not even close. His play in his own zone isn't dominant enough. Will he ever be considered one of the top 5 offensive defensemen in the league? I think that's possible.
