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.

You'd get magic beans and our defense would be awful. Are we starting a new rebuild in 2016?
