Nicklas Lidstrom was not one of the three nominees for the James Norris Trophy this season. Lidstrom has won seven Norris Trophy's and is second all-time to Bobby Orr who won eight. Lidstrom has 34 points in 70 games this season to go with a plus-21 rating but did not deserve to be in the top three as Erik Karlsson, Shea Weber and Zdeno Chara were better this season. Lidstrom is contemplating retirement this off-season so this could have been his last chance to tie Orr.
