Glad to see Gio will have a chance at the playoffs this season with his hometown Leafs. I still don’t like the way he was forced to exit here and I’m sure it crushed him inside to leave.
His stats may not look too pretty this season, but his competitiveness and work ethic will always land him a job at this level. His skating is obviously a weakness at this point of his career, but his elite hockey sense and instincts should make him a quality dman for a long time. Under the right system, I think he can still flourish.
