On June 27th, Quinn Hughes became the first player in Vancouver Canucks history to win a Norris Trophy. With plenty of talented defensemen across the league, the race for this award was once again a contested one, and the 2024-25 season will be no different, especially if players like Mo Seider, Brock Faber, and Luke Hughes can continue to develop.

*odds as of August 29, 2024
Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche): Unfortunately for the rest of the NHL, Cale Makar has continued to elevate his game. During the 2023-24 season, Makar posted a career-high 90 points with 69 assists and 21 goals. Not to mention, the Avalanche star also recorded a career-high 148 blocks, as his previous career-high was 110, so with numbers like that, it is unsurprising to see him open as the favorite across the board.
Adam Fox (New York Rangers): Fox was a big factor in the Rangers reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, and he certainly has the potential to be even better during the 2024-25 season. Not only did Fox record at least 70 points for the third straight season, but he buried a career-high 17 goals to go along with 56 assists.
If there is one word that describes Fox, it is consistent. He recorded 120+ blocks for the third consecutive season while also dishing out 44 hits, the most he's recorded since his rookie season.
Quinn Hughes (Vancouver Canucks): After finishing 9th in Norris Trophy during the 2022-23 season, Hughes came back and won it for the 2023-24 season. For the first time in his career, Hughes recorded double-digit goals with 17 while also dishing out a career-best 75 assists to give him 92 points on the season.
