Who are the top shutdown defensemen in the NHL? The LetsGoCanes' Jaccob Slavin leads frank_seravalli's list in Part VIII of the Archetype Rankings series:
The Norris Trophy was established in 1953 to recognize the top defenseman in the NHL “who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-around ability in the position.” Yet, with rare exception, the award over the past decade has gone almost exclusively to the defenseman who has piled up the most points that season – or at least been in the top two or three.
Part of the reason the defensive component of the Norris has been overlooked in recent years is because it is difficult to quantify. We can see defensive positioning and posture with our eyes, but we’ve had a harder time properly quantifying it because a lot of it is influenced by overall team success or failure, including goaltending.That’s gotten easier in the last couple years with the emergence of fancy stats.
The truth is, if there was a Langway Award, Carolina Hurricanes stalwart Jaccob Slavin probably would have won a couple by now.
