I'd pump the breaks if you're suggesting Giordano hasn't been very good this year.
His production is off, but league wide in other key stats ...
31st in CF% (1st)
48th in Shot splits (2)
25th in xGF% (1)
49th in SCF% (2nd)
56th in HDCF% (2nd)
And even production ... he's still generating
ixG/60 36th
iSCF/60 22nd
iShot/60 18th
iHDCF/60 59th
Really the only difference is the puck isn't going in this year. The guy is still an elite top pairing defenseman by almost any measure.
