If the Flames retained maximum salary ($2M) and traded Gio as a rental to a contender at the deadline? We'd get some killer assets but I believe that as a hockey and organizational move in and of itself it isnt in line with the Flames' currently projected path.
I think they'd be more inclined to hold him like Cammalleri and roll the dice.
