Man, CP has the most bizarre takes on Gio. A) He is clearly heavily regressing and will likely continue to do so at his age, this was always coming and we accepted it with the signing. B) Because of this you absolutely leave him unprotected and C) There is a next to zero percent chance Seattle takes him. He will not be worth a first or more after another 3/4 season of hockey.
The idea of protecting Giordano next summer is certifiably insane. They won't protect him, he won't be taken, and he will retire a Flame. You do not waste a protection spot on that in a million years.
