You’re almost certainly right. I’m just looking for the right time to trade Giordano while his value remains high. He’ll be 35 this year and I think this trade could help set the team up for years to come.
Of course, there are also many risks as you note. Saros is unproven. Hanifin and Valimaki may play terribly, especially if Brodie needs Giordano. The 1st round pick might be a bust.
But I am always thinking about the return from Iginla.
