While his offence is deservedly getting a lot of attention his defence is just as good. Someone should send a clip of him defending with just his hands the other day to everyone who will vote on the award.

Or they could tell them he's a Toronto native?
UNDRAFTED junior and NHL d-man from TORONTO. Now that's a story worthy of votes.
Gio has the offensive D points, the character, leadership and Defensive zone play to qualify as s Norris finalist.
It will be tough to win against a Maple Leaf that will get far more publicity from eastern media than Gio will generate when it comes down to the voting.
Gio at the halfway point definitely deserves to win but unfortunately it could be an uphill battle against some bias voting.
Gio will have to continue to put up more points than Burns. Accumulate both more points and plus minus than Reilly, so far so good.

Gio has more of a rep than Reilly though, which is hard to ignore by writers. Reilly has never even been an All Star. Gio has, and he's been shortlisted for the Olympics. Finished 10th in Norris voting once as well.
