I think he's probably our most important player now, both on and off the ice. After Gelinas' comments about Gio being the best leader he's ever been around, and how much of a cultural turnaround the team has had under his captaincy, I bet the team locks him up ASAP in that 5-7 year range.
I don't want anyone locked up for that long, especially a guy Gio's age but I certainly hope he's a player who can retire here.

The team had a total inability to draft and develop NHL players previously, if that has changed the need to continually trade away aging players is certainly lessened.
