I think it was established Matheson gave him a vote.
Staples doesn't vote (lmao) can you imagine?

He didn't receive any votes for the Norris. He had 3 votes for the Calder, a third place vote from Jim Matheson, a fourth place vote from a Swedish writer, and a fifth place vote from Darren Haynes.

We will see how this year plays out but it sure did feel like last year was another one of those smoke and mirrors seasons similar to the Oilers run in 2017. The team last year got a new coach bump which allowed them to get off to a hot start. They had historical special teams and some guys came in and had career seasons.
They added “derpth” but lost their best Dman (which was already their weakest position). They still have 2 of the very best forwards in the game but easily have bottom 5 defense and goaltending and lack the depth upfront their fanboy media thinks they have.
I assume at some point there will be an article that curses the fact they lost the Markstrom sweepstakes to the Flames. I know Staples claimed they dodged a bullet but Spector was all-in with the Oilers signing Markstrom.
Even with a brand new building and the best player in the world someone chooses Calgary over Edmonton. I am not the least bit surprised as it is by far the better city and it isn’t even close.

Condolences to the Grosenick family. If he's lucky, something will change before his quarantine is done and he can escape.

He’s driving from LA?!
I made that drive once (LA to Calgary) but made multiple stops and it was leisurely. Spent couple days in Vegas, SLC and Montana.

But you weren't driving 10km/hr like grosenick probably is. Trying stretch it out to a 3 week drive in hopes they can pickup anyone but him

You kind of wonder, with Michael Stone signing a two-way deal with the Flames today, wouldn't he be an upgrade on at least two Oiler defencemen right now? Did the Oilers even enquire? Probably not. The management has been drinking the media fed Oiler kool-aid and think that they have got 6 Norris trophy calibre defencemen on the team right now.

Following the Oilers, fans, and its media is like watching The Big Bang Theory with the laugh track off. Sometimes funny but mostly just pathetic.

Maybe the Oilers should call up the Toronto Zamboni driver.

They did, but he said "Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather drive the Zamboni than spend one night in that tire fire."
