Devon Toews has received votes for the Norris Trophy each of the past three seasons, finishing an average of 11th in the balloting — 11th in 2021, eighth in 2022 and 14th in 2023.
That’s about as clear-cut as an argument gets — Toews is one of the best defensemen in the sport. He’s also one season away from potentially being an unrestricted free agent, and players at his level are rarely seen on the open market.
Toews said at media day before training camp began that his intention is spend the rest of his career in Denver.
