Its a league minimum for a pretty mediocre, but still young"ish" guy. He is more of what they need (stay at home, shot block, hitter, crease clearer) than timmins. But with Giordano's age (and Brodie/Klingberg's age/histories), a better 6th or 7th was needed.
Considering he was just extended, coach Keefe played Holl and Schenn (two stay at home guys) in big minutes over timmins, giordano, liljegren because he thought that was what they needed, and now he has the exact opposite in Klingberg?
Fine signing, but it shows a real talent gap/need in the organization, when he is your 1st callup on defense.
And the fact they're still over the cap by 1.2mil with really only timmins at 1.1mil as the extra, means somebody bigger has to go. Just going 18 skaters or 11/7 waiting on an injury to happen is, when you're "BIG" callups are Holmberg and Benoit, is pretty sad.
