Like I said in other threads, Giordano is going to given a chance to play with Phaneuf. Everybody else has been given a shot and now it's his turn. I think he can handle it most nights but we'll have to give him some time before making him our designated whipping boy as he's got some upside. He should get 2nd line PP time and fill in for Aucoin at times on the first. This season will be his audition for taking Aucoin's spot on the PP when AA's contract runs out. I'd guess he'll get 20 to 30 points and aid in giving us a more mobile defence.
