I think many fans are forgetting that Gio hadn't played competitive hockey since mid February. Pair that with a brand new expensive contract, him being the captain and just how much of a damn he truly gives and its easy to see why he hasn't been the Gio we know and love so well... Yet. This is Mark Giordano we are talking about people and he definitely is going to be back.
I'm asking for Duchene + if we are trading Gio for him as absurd as that may sound to some, he means and has meant so much more to the dynamic and the identity of this edition of the Flames since becoming captain than Duchene has meant to Colorado and I think any discussions about trading Giordano need to be taken with serious caution. This is a guy who would have run away with the Norris last year and been in the running the year before that if it wasn't for two kind of freaky/odd injuries.
My 2 cents on the Gio discussions of late.
