I'm not saying having more leadership would be a bad thing, but IMO the reason the flames gave Gio the term and $'s was because he is the captain going forward. Have to think he got an extra year of term and some money because he is the captain going forward. Plus as much as i like that the flames gave Gio an extension, i am no fool. The last couple of years of that contract are going to hurt.

In my opinion this has to be a joke right?
In the summer if the Islanders fans were goin to ask for Gio with Haminic being the return the Flames fans would ask for Strome/Dal Colle/Barzal in return easily. Before October Gio was considered top 5 by most fans and media. He is off to a disappointing start but is not playing like absolute garbage. Now we are a quarter into the season and people question of the Islanders would consider a 1 for 1 swap? Especially now when Haminic is requesting a trade to basically 3 teams?
