## Resource

Edmonton Oilers Evan Bouchard led all defensemen in scoring this season, yet was overlooked for the James Norris Trophy nomination. Despite his impressive performance, including a massive fourteen-point margin, Bouchards reputation for defensive mistakes and playing with Connor McDavid may have influenced the decision. However, his statistics, such as ranking second in wins above replacement, solid goal suppression, and a respectable turnover rate, suggest he deserves recognition.
