I get that this is CalgaryPuck, and E=NG here, but from what I've read here, do you really think that Nurse is a 5th defenseman on any team?

Minutes played really depends on what team you're on. We all know he had goals. And Norris voters are a pretty mixed bag who overemphasize points because they can't or don't look at anything else. One dude put him ahead of Makar, which is silly. Another was Eric Francis, who put him second (LOL), another was Mark Spector, etc.
Nurse got about the same amount of people voting for him as Mackenzie Weegar, who just got a contract the year before. Not $9M though LOL.
