Article posted by Hockey Writers. Interesting question and tough choice. I think all things considered, the nod goes to Gio - but really a great dilemma for a Flames fan!

Gaudreau has set career highs in goals and points, and he’s put together 25 multi-point evenings – a surefire sign that when he’s on, he’s really on. In addition, he’s become the team’s offensive engine and when they need a big goal he’s typically the guy on the ice counted on to deliver. He plays on the top line and the first power play unit, and has either scored or set up 21 tying goals and 31 go-ahead goals.

At 35 years old, Giordano has emerged as one of the NHL’s top defensemen and the Flames’ captain and most consistent player. He plays in every key situation: the top defensive pairing, first power play unit, first penalty kill unit, five on threes, key shutdown opportunities and any other stressful situation. He’s his team’s oldest skater and he’s being asked to carry the mail basically every night from a game management perspective – and the crazy thing is he’s succeeding at it.
