The Globe and Mail is reporting that Mark Giordano has decided to sign a one-year, $800,000 contract with Dynamo Moscow.
Consider me unimpressed.
While this may seem rather ad hoc, I'm starting to think that Sutter saw this coming and signed Eriksson as a preventative measure. It just doesn't make any sense for Sutter to ignore Giordano and sign an aging depth journeymen with the Flames already rife with 5th and 6th role guys. Im starting to think the Moscow offer came up, the agent used it as leverage and Sutter decided to walk away.
I still don't like losing Giordano like this. In fact, it sucks. I was looking forward to observing his progression during the upcoming season. Now we may never know if he could have fulfilled some of the promise he showed as a rookie...
In other depressing news, Warrener is still a Flame.
EDIT -
Matt and Mirtle chime in. Looks like we're all in agreement.
