Playing on an awful Flames team will kill any hopes Brodie has of seriously factoring into this award.
But what this year will probably be is a stepping stone. I'll predict he finishes top 10 in voting, and that the recognition he started to receive last year will increase this. If he remains our best defenceman over the next couple years and the team itself grows into a solid contender, that is when he will get legitimate pushes for the Norris.
