Hanifin has 517 games already. He still growing but he still really hasn’t become elite at either end of the ice. How many more games before people give up he is not Norris caliber?

I don't think he ever wins a Norris, but I guess "elite" is more of a subjective term.
Hanifin over the past two seasons vs all regular defensemen is
13th in CF%
10th in xGF%
18th in xGF60
24th in xGA60
With 32 teams and 7 defensemen per team, not sure how much more he's supposed to accomplish to get the term elite.
