Giordano is a complete defenseman and will still be an excellent defenseman when his offensive numbers start to slide. The same simply cannot be said about Yandle.

Trying to compare Giordano and Yandle is like comparing Kopitar to Spezza. THey might put up similar numbers, but they are not similar players. Without the points, Kopitar is still a great player. Spezza, not so much.
Yandle is going to look like how Wideman usually looked on the ice last year when he loses his skating steps. Going to be very painful to watch.
