Giordano was pretty lucky I think. He was already AHL trained and was put on a defense pairing with Markov. He was essentially playing big minutes with an NHL caliber defenseman. I recall Giordano partially attributed playing with Markov to the big step forward he took that year.
As a young player, it's hard to know how much responsibility Rafikov will get. They tend to develop their players differently there.
