Giordano would know very well about playing well for 1.5 seasons and getting undeserved praise.

You don't go down this road, blowing it up, trading your vets, if Brodie is not on the first pairing. And I'm sure Sideman will play with him; he's a good partner. He'll likely get more Pk time early. By the Olympic break I expect Brodie to have fully asserted himself as the #1. It's all he did after bouw left.
