i just don't like the idea of trading gio to get ekblad. The only reason for that is that in order to have a guy like ekblad develop to his full potential you gotta put him on a dcore with guys that can show him how to become a pro. Trading the best mentor on the roster to get the young buck may be a bit counter intuitive.
If i'm florida, and am in a win-now mode (with some level of budget) Gio is probably the only guy from the flames that really intrigues me. First line dman, on a unreal contract, great dressing room leader for a young team.
