Thumbs up Giordano in the Russian play-offs
Hi guys,
Giordano was really not bad in play-offs in Russia. He played 9 games (got penaltized for 5+20 in first period of 10th game). Scored 7 points (1+6) - the best result for defensman in this year play-offs up to now. Played in both short-hand and power-play and was looking really great. I believe he was a key-player in power-play. His team lost 1/4-finals yesterday, so he is back to Canada.

I thought he wasn't supposed to return and rise again until this Sunday?

Well, Hale and Vandermeer are UFA's next year so hopefully Sutter can sign Giordano.

If we let Vandermeer leave for a 7th/8th guy like Giordano, I hope the next guy out the door is Sutter.

Yeah, I think both will be near the top of the re-sign scale after Langkow but a couple of other defencemen could be gone for cap reasons. In this case Giordano would be a cheap option.

Giordano doesn't replace either of those guys as they are totally different types of defensemen. Ideally, Giordano would replace Eriksson.

Richie Regehr is also having a good year in Germany. He might be another option.
