There's not been much talk about Norris candidates here so far. Who would you vote for? You can't pick a Norris winner by point production alone for the league's best d-man, but the way Karlsson has put up numbers this year makes you think about his contributions.

Karlsson has absolutely owned every d-man and the majority of forwards in points and offensive production, but defensively has a ways to go yet. Weber and Chara are perennial favourites because of the completeness of their games, but is it enough to make up the 25+ pts (more than Mayray has all season for perspective) to Karlsson? Campbell and Pietrangelo have stepped up this year also, but I'm not sure they would make the top 3 this year.
