Yet Mark Giordano has constantly surprised and proven people wrong his entire career. With his fitness level and dedication to the game he may be one of those guys that is able to play at a high level way into his 40's. Thats not even mentioning what he brings off the ice to this organization in leadership, community and being a guy that young guys can look up to.
He is our captain and best defenseman by far. I can't see him being left unprotected and if he is I can't see Seattle not swiping him up and slapping that C on him.
