The only thing I can think of regarding moving Dougie for a pick would be that Flames management has identified they have too much money tied up in the back end and it's created an imbalance in the roster.
Getting a Juolevi on an entry-level deal, if you think he can step in almost right away, would be a quick fix to that, and by the time he comes off his entry level deal who knows what has happened with Gio at that point.
