2012-13 Bouw dumped for prospects and what St.L thought was a 25th+ draft pick... Gio , Baertschi, Brodie, Glencross only Flames that are un-touchables.
Gio has been the Flames clear cut #1 D for 3 years.....
The extra 3 minutes a game that Bouwmeester floats through does not make him a top d-man in the league on any team.

Gio performed best relative to his role. He isn't a 26 minute a night D and he isn't a 1. Brodie is our #1 now. Not Gio. In terms of assignments, minutes, PP, TJ is the go to guy.
Gio will be able to achieve a measure of success if he plays as a three. He's paid like a three. Be happy with him as a three.
