Gio/Ham/Brodie top 3 is amazing going forward even while Gio regresses as he ages.

It was partially this, sure. But it was primarily that the Flames play a very different system than Boston defensively, and he was not at all comfortable with it for a while. He said as much.
The Bruins play a box-out system. The Flames play a get-sticks-in-the-lanes, passive system that he really struggled with for a while.
