I would trade Gio and not because I don't like him. I love him as a player BUT if we could pull some Poile style Weber for Suban type deal and avoid the back end of his contract or get a first line RW..... I would try Brodie back on his strong side and try to build up some value again and then trade him to for more forward scoring depth. I still believe we go no where with Backlund and Frolik as our second line. I like them both but ideally they are a top flight 3rd line pairing not a second line scoring paring. We can roll with Andersson and Valmaki on D. We probably wouldn't be much worse than we are now. Vegas makes due with a worse D on Paper.
