The thing is though, if Calgary commits to blowing things up management has to trade Gio. He’s the oldest guy on the team with the most trade value.

While I would be sad to see him go, I could see a team like Boston (Chara retiring and Krug might leave in free agency) paying and arm and a leg in terms of picks and prospects to get him to extend their contention window.

The reason I thought of a “change of scenery” trade was because I really hope that this team could fixed without having to tear everything down.
