I love you Foxy, but this is Karlsson’s year
Good for Fox. I know we are not happy with how he played during G7, but we are very lucky to have him on our side
I’d guess karlsson
CLEAN
Karlsson and Fox make sense – think Makar is a finalist more due to his overall pedigree. Only 60 games played this season while there were several other Dmen close to a PPG – seems wrong.
Karlsson was/is the man this season. 0 qualms with him getting it
I’m as big a Fox fan as anyone. But I don’t think this is his year.
Karlsson will win but most analytic sites & models have Fox as the best overall defenseman given his offensive output and strong defensive skills (something Karlsson lacks). Voters just won’t be able to overlook the 100 point season
Nice to see Foxy recognized, but the trophy is almost certainly going to Karlsson for the first 100-point season by a dman in 30+ years. Not what the Norris should be about, but it is what it is…
I was sold on Karlsson until I saw the -26.
100 points is badass but isn’t a defenseman supposed to idk, defend?
