Then when you get an offer, you evaluate it both in terms of how much sense it makes and how it will impact the team both on and off the ice.
Who knows what's out there.
If Florida offered #1 for Gio + say Wotherspoon or something similar, I would have a hard time with saying no even though Gio is so important to our team.
It just depends.

I agree with that line of logic but I think this is why I would say no to that offer. From a business standpoint you have to consider more than the transactional value on paper. I think Gio is an important role model and piece of the rebuild. He may not be the #1 dman when things start to turn around but he could be a very important piece of why things start to turn around IMO. I think the Flames have enough depth up front with young players and prospects to start flipping for younger dmen. They may not be the calibre/potential of Ekblad but I think they could get some good value for that depth if the timing was right.
