Gio is such a massive reason the Flames have not been the worst team in the league this year. The way he carries himself on and off the ice sets a huge example for the kids and vets alike. His value to the team has risen this year and he is better served leading this team moving forward than being traded for a package of picks/prospects. Watching the Oilers this year has given me a much different opinion/perspective on veterans and what they mean to a rebuilding team. Trading Gio could slow down the rebuild instead of accelerate it
