All Star game is about catering to a specific market and to the NHL sponsors. They want young, flashy players and local players. It makes sense that two SJ d-men were picked over him, especially Burns with his huge personality.
Gio doesn't fit the bill and that is more than OK. I wouldn't worry about it guys.
Getting an all-star nod at the end of the season is true recognition of ones performance for the season.
