I've lost hope that there is much chance they don't take Giordano. With so many teams making moves to protect their defensemen, the pool isn't nearly as deep and Calgary doesn't have anything else close to his quality available. As Cliff said, they are concerned about maintaining cap space and taking his contract for one year is pretty perfect. Can be flipped at the deadline for assets or he might be able to lead them as captain to the playoffs. Looks to me like he's gone.
