Why do you guys keep comparing goons to defencemen? Why compare McGratton to Giordano at all? Compare McGratton to Boogard and Giordano to Jovonoski. Forget about their overall rating.

This is why players have categories... power forward, sniper, tough guy, grinder, two-way forward, two-way defenceman, offensive defenceman, defensive defenceman... etc.

Even though McGratton and Giordano are close in overall rating, I promise you that you'll skate faster, be more agile, score more often and have less passes intercepted with Giordano than with McGratton... and you'll hit harder, injure more people and win a hell of a lot more fights with McGratton than with Giordano.
