No. So I am not bashing Gio , but Vlasic is just plain better at winning a team games. Gio is a fantastic player, most teams would love him. But Vlasic plays a purpose here, we throw out him and Braun and they tend to make other teams best players ineffective. It is tantalizing to think of having 45+ minutes of Gio-Braun and Martin-Burns, but what we have now is proven.
Then of course is the contract issue. Gio's contract affects our ability to resign Burns, and in the future Hertl and Donskoi. Vlasic is on an amazing contract now, and DW always manages to get good deals done with our players and I expect nothing different here. To round it all out, Pickles is 4 years younger, and has never had injury issues. To summarize: nah, we pass.
