We'll probably never know the truth, but I hope that the GM approached Gio and asked him if he wants to be traded to a contender.
I'm a big believer in asset management over anything else, but for a special player like Gio, I think the club owes him the opportunity if he wants it. He may just choose to ride it out into the sunset in Calgary and that's OK too.
This isn't about the return. It's about letting Gio chase the dream.
