2026-27 NHL Norris Contenders
Current Best Bet: Cale Makar (Avalanche)
Makar has already won the Norris twice in the last four seasons and enters 2026-27 as the presumptive favorite, with scouts pointing to his blend of skating, scoring touch, and full special-teams workload as still the best all-around package on the blue line.

2026-27 NHL Norris Sleepers
Fox already has a Norris on his resume and remains a perennial finalist thanks to his elite puck-moving and power-play quarterbacking, while LaCombe is the name to watch out of Anaheim’s young core — a rising two-way defenseman who could force his way into the conversation with a full-time top-pairing role.
