Chicago should make that trade for Duncan Keith who is the same age (Keith 3.5 months older) as Gio and has been considered a much better defenseman (Norris voting) for 10 of the last 10 seasons.
Keith has a better contract 5.5 x 5 as opposed to Gio's 6.75 x 4
Should the Flames give up Tkachuk , Jankowski and 2019 1st for Keith??
of course not on all accounts ... realism comes into focus when asking what anyone would give up for a 34 year old d-man (not named Lidstrom).
Scott Niedermayer last season was when he was 36. He only stayed on to play on the Olympic team ..
Gio and Keith likely have 2 years left.
