Hedman, Josi, Makar named Norris Trophy finalists – NHL

The runner-up for the Norris Trophy last season, Makar helped Colorado finish first in the Western Conference during the regular season (56-19-7) and would be the first Avalanche player to win the award.

Seider was robbed.

I personally think Josi should win it but both he and Makar have put in the work of being considered good enough to win it for long enough that it could go either way.  The other guy counts too. Take your pick.

They announce the Vezina finalists today.  We’re waiting for Wednesday’s Calder finalist announcement.
