I expect that there will be a deal by Treliving prior thereto, to avoid all of that, though.

Why would he avoid that? We're talking about a 38 year old. If that means that the Flames keep all of Hanifin, Valimaki, Kylington, Andersson, other signings or surprises (Brodie/Hamonic/UFA), Treliving will probably be begging for them to take Gio.
I love Gio, but 38 year olds don't have the best track record in the NHL. Iginla was still a 30 goal scorer at 37 but done by 39.
