I agree, the team did need a new a culture shift and they got, last season. Like I’ve already said, I don’t think this team’s culture and identity changed this season, it began last season and has continued this season.
A lot about hockey is plug and play and I think under Darryl, there’s not a single player I can think of who plugs into Darryl’s system more than Gio. It was Sutter himself who called Gio this team's best defenseman last year and it was also Sutter who demoted Hanifin and promoted Gio in the lineup.
I’m just saying, don’t be surprised if Gio is back in red some time next month.
