Unless Gio asks to be traded to a contender, I suspect he'll retire at the end of next year, playing all of his NHL games as a Calgary Flame.
I'm not really upset with that either. Yes, it sucks to not cash in on getting value for a player about to leave the team or league. However, every player retires at some point, thus making every team "stuck" with not trading away a player to get something for him. I would be fine if Gio was one of the guys we are stuck with.
