Seth Jones is off to a career-best start with the Florida Panthers, but can his offensive production and historical Norris Trophy trends make him a contender?
Ryan Gagne of The Rat Trick argues that Florida Panthers defenseman Seth Jones deserves serious consideration for the Norris Trophy following a career-best start to the season. Jones tallied 19 points in his first 16 games, setting a franchise record with 18 points in October and putting himself on pace for 100 points.

However, Gagne emphasizes that historical Norris Trophy trends show that leading the league in scoring is not required to win, making Jones' two-way contributions essential to Florida's playoff contention.
