That's an option too, although I think one of the reasons Chicago's defense was so atrociously bad the year Gustafsson went off was because he was getting so much ice time on the top pair with Keith. Obviously he was outstanding in the OZ and in transition, but he's not good defensively and probably never will be. So maybe Gio can carry the load in that situation and that pairing can work really well. But I do have concerns about giving a guy is is flat-out bad in his own zone 20-22 minutes a game in all situations. In fairness, I thought he was a bit better this year when he was in Chicago, but his role was reduced, especially once Boqvist came up.

But like I said, I think he really fits in Calgary and they'd be smart to keep him. They'd make a fan out of me for doing it too lol
