Burns, the reigning Norris Trophy winner isn't as good as Josi? I'm guessing there's a large group of people who are much more qualified to assess these players disagree with you on that.
I do put Josi above Keith at this point in Keith's career due to age.
Josi entering his prime and Keith entering his twilight.
It may be homerism, but I do think Gio is up there with these guys. His compete is second to none, his ability to transition from physical play in his own end while remaining positionally responsible, to his offensive skill set to help drive the play is top 5 in the league. But that's my opinion.
