Does Burns have a better shot? Absolutely, one of the best and most accurate blasts in the NHL. He also hits harder than Josi. Roman Josi is better in every other aspect of the game though. He has better reads than Burns in both zones, much better stick checking, skating, and just a higher hockey IQ. The Norris trophy is awarded to the top offensive D man usually, not the best D man.
