His first year was awesome. I didn't think he deserved the Norris nod over Gonchar, Campbell or Markov, but that's me. But moreover, I just think he became a symbol of disappointment. I just don't think he merits a "here's a pick we're proud of" status. He's not on the level of Tkachuk, Monahan or Backlund for me.
