One thing I noticed with Gio gone is the PK seems a lot better because the defenceman are actually protecting the net and not chasing guys into the corner.
Gio used to chase guys on the PK a lot and would lead to breakdowns.

I think Gio would help this team a lot. Gio even at his current age, does everything at an above average level. I could create a list, but it would take a while and the game is about to start.
But all you need to know, is that the current coach Darryl Sutter called Gio the best defenseman on the team last season and the way Darryl utilized him proves that. Gio under Sutter was promoted, was used in all situations, played 24 minutes a night and flourished.
The only issue in my mind is cost. If Gio wants to be paid, I'm not sure the Flames have the cap to accommodate that.
