On the flip side he has Ryan Suter (dirty American) a year and half younger than Gio coming off a slightly better statistical season than Gio is not worth his 7.5 M in any future year and only worth 5.4 M / year for the last 5 year of his contract.

What you refer to as a slightly better statistical season looks at production in general. When you consider stats like Corsi, Fenwick, or whatever his model is based on Gio comes in ahead. Bingo's point was that the stats that the model relies on could be less favorable to defenseman(especially stay at home defenseman). As I am sure you are well aware more often than not stats are chosen/manipulated to fit an argument, and not the other way around.
