I don't think the emotional connection is anywhere near the level of the Iggy connection was. Iggy after all is/will be a legend of the game. Gio is just a really good d-man currently and will never be counted among the games greats.
I think the general consensus on this board during the summer was that if Gio is digging in on contract talks, trade him. CP didn't have an overly unusual attachment to him like we did for Iggy.
