I don't know as much about mentoring the young guys as Seattle doesn't have a whole lot of that. But more from the Building the team in the Community and them establishing all those relationships. He's probably been pretty involved in a lot of ice off stuff, so I could see why Seattle might not be as quick to trade their first captain. In a way it's odd that they wouldn't have picked a guy that they had longer plans for to be Captain and maybe had Gio be an alternate to help out at the beginning.

They might be looking at Gio as a stop gap captain until Matty Beniers steps in ? Hard to say.. personally speaking, if we were going for any defence depth, I'd rather see a Ben Chiarot which I've read could go for a late 1st.
