And if Calgary is taking a step back next year, potentially a reason why they should protect him.

Possibly and that may be the way the Flames and/or Seattle see things.
I doubt he wants to move though. And it would not be a big surprise if his agent was to "suggest" to Ron Francis that retirement would be preferable to him and his family over moving to Seattle for a few months only to be traded again at the deadline.
On top of which...i dont believe for a second that BT and Sutter dont plan on being anything but a playoff team next year. Keeping Gio will be a big part of that in their eyes im guessing.
May not be whats best long term or what some fans want, and cetainly i understand that, but from the teams viewpoint and with Sutters hiring, no question in my mind thats what they are planning on.
