Statistically he's having a good season but he's a lesser version of Karlsson in that his points at times come at the expense of some shoddy defensive coverage. Taking off the homer glasses I simply don't see how any Flames fan can look at his overall body of work this season and conclude that he ha been Norris worthy.
Giordano is MUCH more of a two way defenceman than Karlsson will ever be. He's definitely had his struggles this year, but the last two seasons Giordano was legitimately in the conversation for best all around defenceman in the league (before his injuries). Not comparable players, at all.
