He would no doubt be a great add at the deadline for the right price, as Seattle will surely not make the playoffs.

Waive Zadorov, add Giordano and re-sign him for 2 years at a cap-friendly rate so he can close out his career mentoring Valimaki on the 3rd pairing. Get it done, Treliving.
I wanted Gio back at the start of the season, but I'm pretty sure that bringing him back would result in a Gio - Tanev pairing. That in turn would cut into Kylington's ice-time and opportunity. Our young D needed the added responsibility, I don't think it's a coincidence they took a step with Gio gone.
