I understand the reasoning for signing a RH defenseman to a higher dollar contract in exchange for a shorter term, this was a July 1 signing, we have lots of cap room, etc. One of my concerns though is that we have a depth defenseman making $3 million per/yr and Giordano, our captain, making $4 million. Hopefully that doesn't mess with the dynamic of the players or issues with team chemistry.
