Because the list says

NHL Network producers and analysts chose the top 20 defensemen in the League

And yet the guy who won the award for

top defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position

got 3rd place in the ranking.
Why does that need to be explained to people?
I know the nhl.com ranking mean SFA. But don't you agree it's odd the player who quite literally won the Norris is 3rd? Nowhere at all on the webpage does it say they are basing the rankings on more then the previous season (unless they said that somewhere on the video).
I'n not interpreting it as a slight against Gio. It's just an odd ranking to put the guy who won the Norris and got 99% 1st place votes, in 3rd place.
