He's gonna have a monster year no doubt, but knowing the NHL they'll give it to the best offensive dman

Dahlin has to get 60 pts and carry that defence to the playoffs and then they will. I just don’t see Buffalo in a top 3 spots. And I feel like Metro will take both wildcard spotd

I can honestly see that happening.
In his career, I predict he wins 6 of them.

He has a few more years to win some of them, but once Norlinder arrives he'll win them all

No he wont. Trophy winners tend to have some pedigree in the NHL, finishing high up in the voting years before winning. Dahlin has none.

A player who had many years of experience going up against top competition. Colin Miller has always been and will always be extremely sheltered. You won't win a Norris playing in a sheltered role.

That is a very hot take. It might be possible if he were on a team like Colorado instead of Buffalo. He’ll probably win a Norris in his career, but until this team fixes its problems he’ll be held back by his teammates.

Wasn't even mentioned as a top 20 D in the league by the NHL, also not mentioned in their article about "Best future defensemen in the NHL." I guess they forgot he was drafted 1st OA just 3 drafts ago, put up 2 40 point seasons on the worst team, and did it all as a teenager.... Also they seem to forget that they touted him as the best defensemen since Lidstrom. He won't win Norris this year but in the next 5 years I can assure you he'll deserve to be a finalist and to have won it at least 3 times

Only Housley had more pts as an 18 year old.
He had 44 pts at 18, he was on pace for 55 at 19 years old (playing on a team that could not score much).
He will be 20 for the entire regular season, since it will be a shorter season he could easily be on a pace for 65 or more.
I will not predict a Norris next year, but he will have a monster year

Quoting all those people just to say, 'ya you guys are right'. Seems worth it I guess.

Well McDavid won without pedigree other then his draft position, and ik McDavid is special but Dahlin is the next big prospect for defense like McDavid was for offense.
