Pretty decisive and mirrors the mid season poll.  Hard to say Makar wasn't the favourite

 who's the homer vote for Adam Fox ?

Haha I was gonna say. Whoever voted Fox for first place should have their voting privilege revoked. That’s ridiculous lol

[Down by the River]

170 people voted. I have a hard time believing that there are that many persons qualified to vote on this. 

[Devron]

Kinda how I thought it would shake out with Makar on top. I believe Hughes is better player based on the different teams and a year younger. I’m sure they will be comparing the 2 for years to come 

 

Im going to be more stoked to see a Canuck win a Norris anyways

Let's play a game. FInd the homer.

Fox was robbed of 3rd imo.

I wonder how much closer it would have been if the voting included the playoffs? 

 

Awesome time to be a Canucks fan tho, looking forward to our 4th Calder finalist next season with Podkolzin.

Was it closer than the mid-season poll? I seem to recall that Makar won by a lot in that one.

I’m just glad we have one of the best young Dman in the league. Hopefully one of Rathbone, Rafferty, Juolevi ir Woo turn into that solid partner Hughes needs.

[Blitz-Pix]

Both Defenseman are incredible and deserving players. I wasn't surprised Makar won as he was the hyped up frontrunner all season. Not to take anything away from our players but I feel Hughes accomplished more with less (supporting cast). Not alot was expected from us this year (outside of Vancouver) 

 

Hypothetical question: If Hughes played for Colorado this season and Makar played for the Canucks who scores more points and has the best stats? ...and is the Calder race even close? 

 

Both players are great but I'm happy we have Hughes.

Quinn Hughes will have his name on cups and win Norris trophies. This Calder trophy is the climax of Makars career.

Not surprised as it seemed Makar was always the media favorite. But Hughes changed a lot of votes in the end me thinks. Trying not to be biased but I'd vote Quinn. He just completely changed the look of our team. Love this kid. 

[DeNiro]

Award was decided half way through the season.

 

Hughes would have really had to tear it up to overcome the momentum Makar had already built.

 

Really doesn’t change anything. Hughes is a very important piece to the puzzle and should only get better. He is a year younger than Makar after all.

 

Doesn’t this actually save us and extra cap hit next season for him winning a major award?

I ain't even mad. Makar is phenomenal, but we, as Nucks fans, already know how important Hughes is to us. I'm just glad that Petey won last year, because three Calder runner-ups in a row would be a tough pill to swallow.

He voted for Makar.  Fox is 2nd and Hughes 3rd on his ballot.

 

It's Murat Ates that voted for Fox.  He covers Winnipeg for The Athletic.  

 

All of Vancouver media voted for Hughes - Dayal, Drance, Kuzma, Johnston and MacIntyre.
