I look at the Giordano contract as one of those you have to do knowing it will likely bite you towards the end of it. If you don't sign him - you're not going to find a replacement anywhere and very rarely do trades where you unload a star for futures work out. No idea what Gio would fetch in a trade but likely not much more than what the Flames paid for Hamilton - so not really sure that helps you out in anyway.


As for Treliving - I think he's done well with the bigger moves, but he has to get away from the D.Sutter disease of overpaying bottom of the roster guys and just let young guys sink or swim. You can't convince me the team would be any worse off playing rookies in a small roles instead of guys like Bollig, Raymond etc.
