I'm sure Sutter wants Giordano over not having Giordano. We agree there. But he's the coach for the Flames, not the GM for the Krakens. Heck not even the GM for the Flames who have to look long-term unlike a coach.
I think you take the risk that the GM of the Krakens doesn't want to take on a 38 year old. Then if you're wrong, look at using that cap-space on a UFA who might bring in something comparable.
