No to Gio. Just no. If they pick him up, they will fall apart. The team moved on from him and others stepped up their games, started to lead by example and ultimately the team came together. Bringing him back would disrupt everything the team has worked so hard to build, who goes out if Gio comes back? Who is the team leader if he comes in? Who is the voice of the room?
Don't get me wrong, I really liked Gio and was happy he was here. I still like him and if the team wasn't doing so well, I would welcome him on the Flames but they are doing well without him. At this point, I wouldn't take anyone out of the lineup for Gio.
The team needs to get either a #2 center or at least a depth C like Jarnkrock, or a scoring winger to help the third line out.
