Personally I believe it makes more sense long term to trade Giordano. Say to Toronto for Either JVR or Kadri + pics or prospects or both.
I'm sure many teams would love to have him and we seem to have lots of leadership in our group. Love Gio but I believe he's most Valuable now and impending Age and contract make him tops to move out sooner than later IMO.

Gio is arguably the best player on the team. Moving him the way he has played the last 5 seasons would be tough for this team to take. I get the age arguement but Gio is just too good.
If they even want to contemplate it switch Brodie and Gio around for 20 games. Okay Brodie with Hamilton against top competition and Gio and Hamonic as the second pair. My prediction is Gio and Hamonic would elevate to the top pair and Hamonic would be the third defenseman to be part of the “best pair in hockey” with the connection being Gio.
Brodie and Dougie both have struggled mightily on the defensive side of the puck when not paired with Gio
