Give me a break, Wayne Gretzky was traded. Gio is a great person and sometimes a great player but he's been pretty inconsistent the last 3 years after injuries and has been injured pretty much a large chunk his entire career. We can't afford to always wait 40 games before he gets on track. He was real bad after an injury 2 years ago and has been pretty bad this season.
It might not be the popular decision but sometimes you need to make tough decisions. Hamonic would be a great addition and plus we get some cap relief and maybe a nice draft pick.
That cap space might be the difference between being able to sign another player as well. And besides Gio is 32 like I mentioned and plays hard minutes so his body is taking a beating.
Love Gio and would gladly eat my words but I would welcome a trade any day.
We hung on to Iginla far too long and got zero return. We have a chance to get a good d-man who is only 25 and probably a first or second rounder.
