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.

I am a lawyer. And front runner, especially “the front runner” as you said, means one thing only. That’s why you got push back. Plus you wouldn’t or couldn’t back up your statement.
The word finalists is my own pet peeve and i mention it when awards time comes around. It makes it seem like there’s a contest after they are named, which there isn’t. I didn’t even mention it as part of the point I was making anyway.
