That's why I said "lesser version" as he's not as good offensively and not as bad defensively but they both have similar strengths and weaknesses. I don't consider Giordano a shutdown defenseman and that's my opinion as I see him as a risk taker at times and a guy that loses his man around the net. Not a lot different than Hamilton actually with the exception one player is a vet and one is 23.
