Del Zotto is only 24! It's not like we are talking about Derek Morris or another d-man nearing the end of their career. Giordano didn't start really developing into the player he is today until he was 24-26. I'm not saying Del Zotto will be a Giordano, but a 1-2 year contract for a couple million, would be a chance that is worth the risk. Del Zotto had some flashes of a good player in his rookie year, maybe it will never come back, maybe it will who knows. We have money to play with in the cap, its not like 07-08 where we were tight against the cap, and if we only sign Del Zotto to 1-2 years, if it doesn't work, than he is gone when we start needing money for players like Monahan and Gaudreau.
