Looking at that roster, who is the odd man out?

For me, it's the 32/33 year old guy making almost 2 million dollars more than guys a decade younger playing the same role.

Short of an outrageously-low-for-the-expectations-contract, the more I think about it, the more I have trouble figuring how or where Giordano fits that doesn't see him leave the club like Patrick Sharp just did, with a top prospect tied around his waist.

I don't want to see that.
Playing the same role, except for the fact that one of those guys is the captain, and by all accounts is one of best in the game.
