Based on the definition of the Norris winner I would personally vote for Webber but we all know a lot of people who are part of the voting will see 77 points and be blown away. I don't want to take anything away from Karlsson as I think he has had an amazing season but I believe Webber is the best in all areas.
Side note:
- Webber also has 19 goals
- I believe Karlsson will actually win. I believe quite a few people will vote for Karlsson based on his amazing 77points to date and also due to the fact that the rest will split votes between Chara and Webber thus favoring Karlsson.

Definition of the Norris trophy: "defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position"
Were Weber and Chara better all-round than Karlsson this year?

To me Weber/Chara>>Karlsson defensively. Karlsson>Weber/Chara offensively. So Weber or Chara get the nod from me with that in mind. Karlsson has been decently good defensively while contributing a ton offensively, and the numbers will favour Karlsson. It's a different discussion if Karlsson was only leading by 5-10pts, but we're talking about 25 currently.
If Karlsson won I wouldn't be outraged but I hope offensive output does not turn into THE defining criteria for the Norris. Kind of like how many were arguing why Kesler deserved the Selke last year for scoring 41g when the award is for best defensive forward, something that is hard to define objectively.

Apart from point production, you cannot compare Karlsson to Lidstrom quite yet in terms of defensive ability...

Nicklas Lidstrom is a top...5, maybe even top 3 all time defenseman. He's not quite Orr but he's close to Bourque, considering the era he plays in. The man is a hockey playing robot. He probably should've won that aware at least 10 times. HOWEVER, yeah, Weber should've won last year but they all thought Lidstrom was retiring so they gave him the award I'm sure.
But what Karlsson is incredibly impressive, especially going from a -30 to a +19 on an Ottawa team not known for their defense. Way I see it is he's +19 on a team with a +13 goal differential. Weber is +18 on a +20 team, and Chara is +33 on a +60 Bruins team, which tells me Karlsson is better defensively than most of the rest of his team. I know the +/- stat is flawed but it's what we have. That alone makes Karlsson's season so much more impressive than the year Mike Green had 30 goals...because Mike Green is awful defensively.
Karlsson for Norris. People just assume he's not very good defensively because of his offensive output but if you've watched him play this year and last year, there's been massive improvement in his skating ability and defensive positioning.

When I was in Cancun, I watched from my hotel room Canucks and another sport. This was all on my portable computer.
