This team needs to keep getting bigger, faster, and younger. They need to play more in the offensive zone. Speed is the name of the game. Time to move out older players and make changes to the core that has failed in so many ways.

Trading Gio sets the team back no doubt he is clearly by far our best Dman. When Brodie or Hamilton are paired with him they are the best pie in the game. When Brodie or Hamilton are paired with others they are good skating, offensive Dmen, thst make boneheaded defensive plays.
Gio is also one of the players that gives a crap on this team.
I don’t disagree that trading him could be an option depending on the return but I also think moving Gio will result in a big step back for the team at least next year.
I assume the Flames trade Gio to get younger player(s) which obviously would be worse players (next 1+ season)
