Gary Suter 617 games 565 pts as a Flames along with 49 playoff games was a default player for Team USA.
Rienhardt 75 playoff games with the Flames.
Macoun 85 Flame playoff games
Reghr 827 games 41 playoff games. Olympic team , world cup of hockey.
Gio has not ever had any recognition as a top d-man by Olympic selection or year end all star selection. The most significant recognition was a distance 6th place vote total in for the James Patrick award.
He needs a couple (at least one) of playoff runs where he is a difference maker to be considered an all time great.
