They were soon followed by a second wave led by Evan Bouchard, Rasmus Dahlin, Noah Dobson, Miro Heiskanen, Quinn Hughes, Fox and Makar. It started with the "older group" featuring Thomas Chabot, Jakob Chychrun, Charlie McAvoy, Mikhail Sergachev and Zach Werenski. Think about the blue-line talent age 25 or younger. The achievements of Fox and Makar add to a growing belief that the impact the young, puck-moving defensemen will have on the NHL is only beginning. The year before Makar won, New York Rangers star Adam Fox took home the Norris as a 23-year-old. "Last year, there were so many guys who had unbelievable years and it is going to be the same going forward. "He could have left me that one, right? Because he's probably going to win 10 in the next 10 years," Josi said. Josi had more first- and third-place votes, but Makar, in his third NHL season, came away with his first Norris by a difference of 25 points. The 23-year-old Colorado Avalanche star dazzled throughout the season in scoring 28 goals, accruing 86 points and also averaging more than 25 minutes per game. The 31-year-old Nashville Predators captain appeared to be in position to capture a second Norris last season, when he scored 23 goals, amassed 96 points and averaged more than 25 minutes per game. Josi, who won the Norris as the NHL's top defenseman after the 2019-20 season, would know.
But he also kind of wasn't upon assessing what the Norris Trophy landscape could look like over the next decade. LAS VEGAS - Roman Josi was kind of joking.
