Easy way to measure a Dman's defensive ability? PK time, especially relative to their teammates.
Offensively:
1. Burns: 13G + 63A = 76 points
2. Giordano: 15G + 54A = 69 points
3. Rielly: 20G + 48A = 68 points
Defensively:
1. Giordano: 200 SH minutes (#1 on Calgary, 52 minutes more than #3 Brodie)
2. Burns: 145 SH minutes (#3 on San Jose, 20 minutes less than #1 Vlasic)
3. Rielly: 85 SH minutes (#3 on Toronto, 128 minutes less than #1 Hainsey)

Completely agree. Not only does Gio have the offensive numbers to back it up but his defensive game is elite as well. He’s such a huge piece of this team. As good as Reilly and Burns have been this year they just don’t bring it in their own end like Gio does. IMO he’s the perfect candidate to win.
