Good for them, we lose out on probably 2-3 years of Giordano (assuming he doesn't come back to us), and Seattle loses out on an up-and-coming defenseman that could have the potential to really break out if he got more ice time elsewhere.

I wouldn't fault them for taking Giordano for the potential to get a high draft pick later on. But, let's say Giordano regresses worse and just nets them a 2nd round pick and a prospect. In my opinion, the better long-term investment would have been taking the young 23 year old.
