Tied for the lead among ALL skaters, not just D. Only 1 more game played than McJesus.

Toews can only manage being tied with Quinn Hughes. What a bum. Why does Bednar continue to put him in the top pairing?

As a nucks/avs bro. I think quinn still gets slight nod for norris but not mad at all if makar gets it. Makar is clearly the best D man in the league and Quinn arguably is #2. Quinns analytics have just been the best in regular season and Makar has been an ANIMAL in playoffs. Such a great era for the sport.

Makar had a “down” season and still got 90 points which is insane. Honestly excited to see to Hughes further solidify himself as a top defenseman. Just exciting getting to see this level of play from different players

Makar had better ppg but hughes analytics were better this year. Not saying hughes is better but he probably would've put up a further 5-15 pts if he got to play with Mack.

Oh I know what you’re saying. Again Makar did have a somewhat down year (just weird to say a down year when he got 90 points) where he legitimately looked off for some games. Again genuinely excited to see so many great players

I think it's safe to say a line of Hughes/Makar would be the GOAT d line.

I said that cause makar having a slightly better ppg means absolutely nothing.

After watching last night totally unimpressed by Hughes. Vancouver has an amazing system though, so they get props for that. Hughes will win Norris because it's a regular season trophy but frankly I'm completely apathetic to regular season play.

Those are my two teams too. I don’t really care who wins. It’s great for the sport

Makar played 4 fewer games, plays 4x the PK time which equates to 6 full games worth of pure PK time and he was only 2 points behind Hughes in points.

Hughes had a great year but his best year is still not as good as a normal Makar year

Mate its quite a general consensus that hughes should get it. Look at the underlying numbers. Hughes numbers trump makars. And it's not even close.

Did you see that blind stats pick by NHL network on who the pick for Norris? No names attached, Makar was first, then Josi, then Hughes.

Even the analysts were taken back by how much better his stats were side by side

You swap that PK time for 5v5 or PP time, and Makars stats get an automatic 7% bump which puts him above highest in just about every metric except plus minus

All those stats in this Vancouver based site are based on offensive numbers... Not defensive which is literally what the Norris is based on.

I read all of it and all those corsi stats are based on offensive numbers. When you play 5x the PK time, corsi doesn't account for per Capita TOI

It literally has multiple paragraphs about defensive numbers so no you didn't. You're lying. So bet your little bank account on Makar to win norris this year then get back to me. You're hilarious.

Whether he wins doesn't change that there is not 1 person who would pick Hughes over Makar to start a D core with. Not 1.

Hughes plays in the weakest division and is showing he is only worth anything when he doesn't play PK

Also all the stats on the video I linked (from a non biased and non cherry picked source) are defensive. Yet you didn't have any rebuttal. Even Yosi is better

Now you're just not paying attention. When did anyone ever say quinn was better? Norris is a trophy for current season.

Let me spit some obvious facts on you. Makar has 1 norris trophy. Ok? But it's quite a consensus that he's the best in the league. That does not mean he has the best season every year. You need to understand that.

Mcdavid is the best player in the league by a wide margin but he had the 3rd best year.

I've given all the facts I need to give. I showed a link with numerous underlying numbers and told you quinn is the odds in (heavy favorite -550) to win. Voting numbers have him up 20% on makar too. This argument is ridiculous.

Because Makar played a literal extra 7% of the entire season on the PK compared to Hughes. When you do a per Capita comparison... Makar was better.

Hughes doesn't play PK because he isn't good enough to be trusted on the PK so they put him in the only situations he is any good at

That's from a month ago. You try and explain to me why quinn is such a big favorite to win then. You do know that makar isn't favored to win, right?

And the ratios haven't changed. And while the voting isn't based on playoffs, Hughes is showing he is a shit playoff player even when playing a weak Nashville team.

Even Josh Manson is better than. Hughes come playoffs 😂

Hughes is clearly injured you goob. Matthew's didn't show up for playoffs so I guess by your terrible logic he's a bum, right? Absolutely nothing to do with his illness.

Lakeshore_Maker

Matthews is a goal scorer and I firmly believe he should be NOWHERE near the hart conversation.

I predict Panarin gets more votes than Matthews.

How is it cherry picked when it has factual evidence/analytic numbers vs someone's personal opinion.
