I personally think Gio can maintain a high level of play until his late 30s. Maybe not as productive as this season, but no reason to think he can't stay a #1 D during that time. Defensemen seem to play well longer in their career then forwards do. But the beautiful thing is that once he is ready to pass the torch, Brodie will be there to take the torch. Brodano will live on. What an amazing situation to have, and we are no where even close to that happening yet.
