I'd much rather have a guy from our team in the Olympics and I'm sure Gio would prefer to be there as well. I love the Olympics but they were made more special when Iggy was playing in them especially because he was a key player in both Gold medal games. Gio can be a key player too and I think putting him in a spot like the Olympics would only improve his play and leadership qualities with the Flames. He's a long shot still but you never know, I think he is exactly the kind of Dman team Canada likes though and if he found a way somehow to make the team it would be quite a milestone to reach since stepping into the league as an undrafted largely unknown prospect.
