I'd be really interested to see how Gio fits into the team in a reduced role.
I recall reading Hanifin's comments the day after the expansion draft, talking about what an incredible example he set for him as a young defenceman still learnign what it took to step up his game. I can't believe that example wouldn't be valuable for someone like Valimaki to learn and grow quickly to his potential.
Giordano is a consummate team guy. He would slot in wherever Sutter wanted him to. I would be thrilled to see and not just sentimentally -- I think in the right role he makes the team better right away. Or does anyone not see Gio as an upgrade over Zadorov?
