Not saying that is impossible, but I think that Gio has taken a step and will not regress for a few years. I see his 2012-2013 year as a massive developmental year where he was learning to be a top defender. The step between being a good overall top 4 Dman and playing top pairing minutes against the best competition on a nightly basis is huge, and during that kind of transition, it is inevitable that a backwards step is taken. Last year was a small step back, this is a huge leap forward, and now he is the CREAM. Dolla Dolla bill y'all
