I would bet money on Flames exposing Giordano. It just makes too much sense, and I don't see it creating much of a backlash among fans at least. Maybe in the locker room, but somehow I don't see that either.
With Vegas doing so well, I would imagine players don't resent being exposed as much as they would if Vegas had been one of those traditionally crappy expansion teams. Being part of creating a new NHL team is probably a pretty interesting experience, and it's not like Gio has a lot of contract left if he doesn't like it there.
...and if he's exposed, Seattle might very well pick him for his leadership, someone to help set the mood in the locker room.
