But Giordano is a bit of a different animal. He struggled with Andersson, but then Andersson struggled with Hanifin as well.
Tanev had his numbers go up huge from changing partners from Hanifin to Giordano.
CF% from 54.6 to 59.7%
xGF% from 59.3 to an amazing 66.6%
Just a solid pairing, think Giordano brought something to it as well.

I would expect Tanev's numbers to be better with Gio who is offensively better than Hanafin. Gio didn't have to do the heavy lifting paired with Tanev and less is more with a 37 year old player. The issue becomes that Gio's simply not going to be as effective paired with any other defender on the Flames roster.
