I was going to suggest that 2018-19 Gio be the #1PP d-man.
Looking at the 2018-19 stats Gio was way up the field of PPP/60 at 20th spot out of 84 with 4.88 ppp/60
In 2019-20 Gio was once again the best Flames D-man with 4.12 PPP/60 good for 44th spot out of the 79 NHL D-men That play more than 1 minute pp /game and 40 or more games.
In 2018-19 Hanifin was #53 with 3.41 ppp/60 and Andersson was #80 with 1.52 ppp/60
In 2019-20 Hanifin was #60 with 3.30 ppp/60 and Andersson was #74 with 2.31 ppp/60
Perhaps the lack of solid responsible defense from the Flames PP forwards puts a greater emphasis on defense for the lone Flame D-man.
