Seattle was stupid for taking gio in the first place.

You are trying to build a team for the future and you take a guy a couple of years from retirement.

I like Gio, always have. You don’t build a team around a defenseman that has lost a step and will retire soon.

They should of taken Kylington. 15 years younger and now playing top line minutes in Calgary.

They will get assets for Gio, and have to wait to see if those assets years later ever play a game in the nhl.

Very interested to see the return. My guess is a second round pick or multiple picks that would equate to a near first.

I am happy for Gio, playing with Brodie will definitely help the leafs.
