Giordano

Has anyone heard or read anything as to why Mark Giordano isn't signed yet?

I can't imagine there's much dispute over how much he will make this upcoming season. This is how rumours get started, but there's only two reasons I can think of why this isn't done yet:
  1. He's not happy that he's nominally #7 on the depth chart right now, and wants to force a move, whether it's him traded or Warrener (or, he's trying to drum up an offer sheet)
  2. Sutter wants him to ink a 2 or 3 year deal, whereas Giordano wants a one-year deal. He figures that once he's an everyday player, his counting numbers will be impressive, and wants his first mid- to long-term deal to be based on a full season's performance.
Option 2 seems a lot more likely to me. Again, if anyone has heard Kerr, Dowbiggin, whoever discussing this on the radio, please drop a note in the comments.

Comments:

Nothing being said at all on this subject.

Im thinking it's #2 as well. Although, I wouldn't blame Giordano for being a little sour about the Eriksson signing. Unless Warrener goes away, it looks like he'll be spending a lot of time in the press-box again.
 


As if Kerr ever speculates on anything useful anyway. At least Dowbiggin's not afraid to be offensive, even if he has no idea what he's talking about half the time.

*here's hoping option 1 is correct and it results in Warrener being traded*
 


MG, speaking of Warrener there was an Ecklund rumour about 2 weeks ago there was an imminent trade of Warrener to Chicago..E4 in fact.

As far as I can tell, the opposite of everything Ecklund predicts comes true, so Warrener will stay.

That's what I thought when I saw that "rumor" too.

Either Warrener stays or he'll eventually be traded to a team nowhere near Chicago...
 


After the trade deadline day debacle, I'm surprised anyone reads ecklund anymore.
