Well that stats alone prove you wrong.
31st in 5 on 5 CF%
44th in shot splits
32nd in xGF%
57th in HDCF%
That's out of 180 defensemen that played 600+ minutes
He's was a weak 1, strong 2 for his regular season, and at $6.75M that's just a smidge over the 32nd ranked defenseman in cap hit.
Giordano wasn't a Norris guy for sure, and he had a bad playoffs, but the stats show he's still a quality top pairing dman.
