He absolutely did not play like a #7
Gio played 22:42 per night, 3:23 of that on the PK. He was on the ice for 3 PP goals against and 7 ES goals against. The same amount of ES goals against as Brodie, Forbort, Andersson, and 1 more than Hanifin. His 3 PPGA was better than Brodie and Forbort and 1 more than Andersson. As I am not one of those live the Analytics, die by the Analytics folks, I might be reading his SAT Percentages (on NHL.com) wrong, but it looks to me he was better than Brodie in almost all of those stats. His physical play wasn't all that great, but he also lead the team in shots blocked by 33% which is a sign he got in the shooting lanes.
Literally nothing about them says he was near #7
