Yeah this is a tough one. I hated the contract initially but two years into it he's still playing at a high level and I feel he has maybe two more years of being able to play top pairing which takes him to close to the end of the deal. I also think that Treliving has amassed a lot of organizational depth at the position and if you have faith in some of these young players it may be a move you can make but I think it has to be a deal you can't refuse and not a matter of shopping the player. At the end of the day I don't see Gio getting moved based on his value as captain and leader on the team. If a veteran defensemen is going to get moved it's probably going to be Brodie.
