Wysh List: Who’s leading NHL Norris Trophy race? (Video)


NHL teams are all nearing the halfway point of the 2016-17 season, which means the awards candidates are coming into focus.

So who takes home the Norris Trophy for the NHL’s best defenseman?

It depends on your criteria. If you allow that the Norris is for the best defenseman, and not simply the defenseman who plays the best “defense,” then the scope is widened. And there are a few candidates that fit that bill.

Yahoo Sports’ Greg Wyshynski offers his current top five in The Wysh List, a mix of overall worthiness and whom the voters will eventually go for at season’s end.

The Wysh List is a weekly countdown on Yahoo Sports hosted by Greg Wyshynski. Questions? Comments? Hit us at puckdaddyblog@yahoo.com.
