Gaudreau is about to get a huge contract. Using your logic we should explore exposing him or trading him to make room for Mangiapane right? No, that would be assbackwards and silly.
The only way your suggestion makes any sense is if you massively underrate Giordano, you think his game is about to go massively downhill or you irrationally dislike him or his contract and want him off the team for no good reason. Help us make sense of your suggestion because right now it looks silly and stupid.

Lol, no it doesn't and don't put words in my mouth.
Let's counter your Gaudreau argument with age, nearly a decade of it differentiating the two. Let's also counter with talent which there is a chasm of difference. Weak argument.
Fine, it doesn't make sense to you. That's great, and to be expected.
Do I need to post this next line in all caps for you to get the point? I do not want Gio off the team!
You remind me of myself when people started mentioning Hudler as trade bait last off season near the draft. I was as irrational about that as you are now about this. But lo and behold, I came around. And look what happened, Hudler got traded and everything is going better than expected.
You don't have to like the fact that I see a future where Gio's contract weighs the team down. Or that his play will decline. But that doesn't mean I am underrating the guy like you suggest, or want him off the team. I just don't have Rose colored Norris glasses for the future of the player.
