I lurked and observed on this site for maybe 2 or 3 years before joining because, despite several people telling me how great it was, it seemed like every time I checked it out, many threads would boil down to the same Iggy/anti-Iggy debates, with the same handful of people making the same, vitriolic posts over and over again.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the same thing is going to happen with Giordano. It is already the case that a few people have to state - every time he is mentioned - that his contract will be terrible. And it will only get worse.

And yes, they are some of the same people.

We have no idea how long he will maintain his high level of play. Plus, his leadership skills are top shelf. But now, every time he coughs up the puck, we're going to have to read about his contract being an anchor.

Yay.
