Cale Makar
Quinn Hughes
Adam Fox
Evan Bouchard
Roman Josi

Not a single one of the top 5 vote getters for the Norris trophy this season played their D+1 season in the NHL.

Even Owen Power got sent back down to play his D+1 at NCAA.


NHLe for these players in their draft years:

Parekkh -> 38.5

Bouchard -> 34.4
Hughes -> 21.4
Fox -> 19.5
Makar -> 17.1
Josi -> 8.8
