Which is fair.
The six man unit likely takes a step back with Giordano. I agree he's going to falter at some point, but assuming he doesn't take a huge step back this year it's a loss.
But Zadorov isn't playing on the top unit with Giordano gone, it's clearly Hanifin. So that's not spin saying he's replacing Giordano ... it's logic.
The question is can Zadorov or Valimaki replace Hanifin, and especially last year's Hanifin?
That's going to be tough.
