Losing Gio to the expansion draft would suck, but it's likely the only real play the Flames have (and best outcome outside of Seattle opting to select Kylington or something instead for some reason).
Surely the cost to protect him isn't worth it... but given his career as a Flame it would be a crappy way to end.
Gio should just come out and say he'll retire if selected... that'd solve things!
