When I hear about the Flames interest in Pietrangelo it makes me wonder if a Giordano trade could happen. When Bingo mentioned it on the CP radio session that piqued my interest as that was one guy I didn't foresee the Flames looking to move. But the Flames have won exactly 0 playoff rounds with Giordano in the lineup, perhaps a change would be good for both parties. I think a lot of Giordano, but if you can get a younger guy who by all accounts is Giordnao-esque off the ice, and with a stronger pedigree on it that's something that will be hard to pass up.

Yeah, I love Giordano but I think that succession planning needs to be in the works. I'd be totally happy to see him be the Old Guy Handed the Cup by the Captain on another team.
