I'm the guy that created the original Giordano thread when he went to Russia and have always been a fan of his but something just isn't right with him at the moment as his offensive game isn't even good and that's always been a strong part of his game. I agree with most in that he's probably having a difficult time adapting to the extra ice time and defensive responsibilities. Hopefully he either adjusts or he gets more sheltered minutes as at times he's hurting the team.

Someone pointed this out earlier. Where do you hide him without disturbing the other pairings? I suppose he could work with Wideman, but he would have to focus a lot more on the defensive side. Wouldnt want to take away his offensive game. Then you basically have to put Brodie on the 1st line, and i do not think that would be a good idea. Just have to hope he turns it around IMO...or pull the panic cord and trade him
