I'm guessing the idea behind it is that one of the Flames current top 6 defensemen would be moved out and Gio would fill that vacancy for this playoff run. Something like Monahan+Lucic+Kylington for Gio+Jarnkrok+Sheahan. Then the Flames would have enough cap space in the offseason to sign Johnny, Chucky, Eatbread, Big G and Big Z to long term deals. Maybe extend Jarnkrok and/or Sheahan too if they have a good showing in the playoffs. Then presumably Mackey would pair with Tanev next season.
Worth noting that Gio+Tanev pairing worked quite well in the latter part of last season.
