You also still don’t get the point i was making, which was saying “contender” isn’t saying a whole lot. I can name 6 guys who are “contenders’ even in the sense that they could be a top vote getter (not to mention that it’s foolish to say that on Dec. 8 anyway).

No I don’t want to because the argument is on a next level of stupid and waste of damn time. He is a front runner. Arguing that front runner can only be one guy is stupid and I don’t have time for it. Totally ridiculous. You and I both know what I was getting at but for some reason you are more interested in changing the argument. It’s very very dumb. You also said there are no finalists, when its well known that the top 3 vote getters are considered the finalists every single year but since it doesn’t fit whatever ridiculous narrow definition of what a finalist is then its a misnomer. You have succeeded in deflecting, I will give you that. The actual argument was whether Dougie being a potential Norris winner is a viable reason to call him an elite player but yet, here we are arguing about semantics. Are you a lawyer maybe?
Dougie Hamilton is one of the front runners for the Norris trophy as of right now, and that is because he is an elite no 1 defence men as far as I am concerned. That is why I don’t view the trade as a big win.
