I know Norris is a season to season award, but I think that careers do factor into decision making.

Gio is 15th in all time points as an active defenseman. To put a little context around that only two players who have played fewer games than him are ahead of him. Kristopher Letang and Erik Karlsson.

Of the 14 players ahead of him in points only 4 have a better career plus minus. Zdeno Chara, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Drew Doughty.

I think that from a career perspective he is due for some recognition as one of the best in the league at that position.
