i mean great players, but at some point you have to restock and a guy like gio could bring back significant pieces...

but the question is whether the team thinks Hamilton/Hamonic/Brodie are able to fill that void Gio would leave behind.


I don’t think anyone on the blueline can fill Gio’s role but if the Flames could get Marner or Nylander for Gio I would do it. When has a 35 year old been traded for a 21-22 year old former top 10 pick with multiple 60pt seasons?
