What did he accomplished that was so special last season besides some sweet shootout goals? He had 28 points while playing an average of about 15 minutes a night with decent linemates. Give Galiardi the same ice-time and opportunity as Colborne last season and you would have seen similar results.
If we were talking about a 21 year old rookie that would be different, but he's already reaching the age where some players peak in their career. Even his game at the AHL level wasn't anything special. He's much too passive and you can't teach tenacity.
