Seems to be the case and is a cautious tale for those that want to move Gio out because he is old. Over the past 4-5 years Gio and his partner (Brodie or Dougie) have been referred to as the best pair in the league when studying their numbers. He is truly an elite Dman.
Maybe trying Hamonic with him is worth a shot and give the Brodie-Hamilton pair a look?
If the Flames feel Stone or Anderson can jump into the 4 Spot next year it could be worth pairing whichever of Hamilton or Hamonic with Gio to boost their trade value this summer.
