The 2025–26 Norris Trophy landscape centers on three frontrunners: Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes and Zach Werenski, with a pack of seasoned stars ready to push. Makar sits as the +135 favorite, driven by 30 goals and 92 points last season, plus heavy minutes and elite power play. Hughes trails at +190, known for 60 assists and 76 points in 68 games, with durability the key risk. Werenski jumps to +850 after a 82-point breakout season, yet team context and playoff progress could swing the vote. Beyond them, the field features Dahlin, Josi and others who could seize momentum in a tight, narrative-driven race.
