Okay well not only did Forsling get Norris votes in the MOST RECENT SEASON he also had 8 Conn Smythe votes. Bouchard was the only other D who got any and he got ONE from an Oiler homer.
He was voted top 10 in the regular season and #1D in the postseason.
Going back to 2021 is irrelevant when discussing who are the top dmen at the moment. I mean Huberdeau was the #2 scorer in the league ahead of Matthews, Drai, Marner, ect. ect.
things change.
Forsling hasn't been very well known playing under the radar in Florida and being a late bloomer...when the entire hockey world saw him on the big stage last spring he dominated and it showed. Third place for playoff MVP behind only McDavid and Barkov. IMO you will be seeing his name in these convos more and more.
Besides Norris voting is heavily skewed towards offence, I will take the playoff MVP anyday. EK won a recent norris FFS.
notice how I didn't try to insult you to make my point about MY opinion.
