I suppose that's not what the question, "what is the Flame's current core?" because he's definitely part of the current core, but I see him almost as a separate entity I guess.
I see the Flames core as a group of young guys, 23-24 and under, playing a quick, high tenacity game. They are learning and building towards something. Giordano isn't really part of that group, and in all honesty (and I will get jumped on for this in a major way) if he wins the Norris trophy this year, I kind of hope he gets moved for the final year of his deal, only because of the return he would garner.
When the Flames are really winning, I mean really winning, he's probably not going to be one of those core guys.
Long winded, but there you go.
