The problem is you'll probably have to eat 50% of his deal just to get the negotiations going, his extra year is very unattractive at his age and also due to the expansion draft. The new team would basically have to protect him because at 50% Gio is a good get for Seattle.

If all it takes to trade Gio and get a good return is eating 50% of his salary, then it should be a no brainer for the Flames. I don't think they'll be spending close to the cap next year anyways, so $3.75M or whatever on their books for one more year wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
