What would Giordano fetch Flames at trade deadline
I like Gio, but is he captain material any more? Is he a fit on this team?
Some on the forum have said they think he will be traded before years end.
Thoughts on what he would fetch?

There is a gaping hole in the top 4 WITH Gio...what does the defense look like without a guy who is eating 24 minutes a night?
I have no desire to find out.

He's not going anywhere. He's had a huge influence on the development of Dougie Hamilton.

LOL is he a fit on this team. Is the team's #1 Defender and team captain a fit on the team?

The Flames are in a playoff race. There is no way in hell they will entertain trading away their captain and #1 defenseman.

Whatever it is he'll fetch he'll beat Wideman to it.

Was that because they were a better team without him in the lineup? Or was their performance a product of adrenaline and added motivation to "win one for the Gipper"?
The Flames are not trading Mark Giordano any time soon.

The Flames should entertain trading anyone if it helps them compete for a championship. If someone wants Giordano, or anyone else on this team bad enough, trade 'em.
That said, Gio is not going anywhere. For many reasons.

I believe in the Pony Power

Why are you even asking if he's captain material? What shred of evidence do you have that he isn't?

I think he's been our best player this year.
Foolish to trade him

Wideman and Russell really stepped up and functioned like a pretty decent top-pair, and Brodie and Engelland stepped up nicely as well.
Who will step up in Giordano's absence this year? Though I think Wideman is unfairly made a whipping boy on these boards, even I would not expect him to step up to that level again. Even if Hamilton, Brodie and Engelland all stepped-up, the Flames would still need at least one more quality top 4 defencemen to play against top talent and eat up some minutes.
I think the answer is... Giordano!

Gio ain't getting any younger. Flames are still a bubble team and may have a good chance of missing the playoffs if the Blues, Kings, and Preds hold on to that last 3 spots. Stars and Jets coming right behind as well. So, if you look for long term gain, I don't think trading Gio's a bad thing if you can get a couple blue chip prospects to build the team for the long haul. By trading him, you lose his big cap hit, especially on Gio's last 3 years of the contract. Plus, you also free up a spot to protect another player for the expansion draft. Not a bad idea as most would think.
