Re-acquiring Mark Giordano should definitely be considered if we are looking for more depth on the blueline for a potential deep playoff run. If acquisition costs are similar with other available D man out there, there's no way Tre doesn't put Gio on the top of his list.
Remember the reasons why we acquired Toffoli. He fit a need of a right handed shot scoring winger. He was familiar with the roster. He's played for the coach and had success before. Acquisition costs were reasonable.
If someone didn't mention the name Toffoli and listed those same qualities (with RHS Winger switched to solid D depth) you'd definitely be thinking of Gio.
I don't believe Gio would be a distraction at all. Mark Giordano has never been about Mark Giordano. The man gave everything he had for the team and the city for 15 years and 8 as the captain. To add that kind of a quality of a person on top of still being a very effective NHL defender would be a dream.
Bring Gio home!!!!!!..... please.
