Kid looks legit growth, and adds some badly needed puck moving.
I doubt he comes out of the lineup again. Maybe ever.

If Rielly's $$$ ask is steep then they may want to just run with Sandin or find a stop gap.Sandin is Riely replacement I hope!

Funny enough, Giordano's contract expires the same offseason Rielly's does. He's from Toronto, may be hungry for a cup run with his hometown team at that time in his career where he's had barely any playoff success in his long tenure with Calgary. He'd be a great fit for the penalty kill, defensive situations, powerplay (he's got a cannon from the point too), and of course we all know he'd fit in perfectly beside Brodie if it's not Sandin there by that time.
One would think that with the breakout season Fox is having, people would place less emphasis on a defender’s physical tools and more on whether or not they can play the game.
He will come out unfortunately due to a lack of foot speed as 4 Jets caught him coming back ice to his defensive end on 6 different occasions last night .. he simply has a short stride on can't keep up from his own blue line to da goal line .. but barb should be able to fix it ... he has every other skill needed to be a top line D man in league but it is a cRITICAL skill he is still lacking .. good on Dermy to see it and cover it up .. but even still was our best pair last night .. da guy is so so smart once he has puck and makes right call every timeKid looks legit growth, and adds some badly needed puck moving.

Wrong ... he will replace Rielly one day .. but he can't even keep up to Bogo and Bogo is slow ... Dermy is showing everyone past 5-6 games who are BEST defender isHad Sandin not been injured he would have been Bogos partner all season long.

Me too ... I think he can get a few games with Muzzy this season .. let Sandin play with Bogo when he is back .. Sandin likely will be heir apparent to Rielly if he can improve his foot speed .. Holl needs to sit .. that way both Dermy and Sandin can get development this year .. we need all these d to be ready for playoffs ... if we go deep we will need 9 guys just watchDermy really is an incredible skater. Just has so much mobility on the ice. I just want to see him keep developing properly.
never Before!! ...trade him before, and you need to protect/risk losing what you just gotThe best thing about his progression is that Rielly becomes a trade asset before the expansion draft.
In his defence Winnipeg is a huge team up front and the smaller guys they have are fast, not an easy team for any dman let alone a rookiehe kind of sucked last night ... he lost ALOT of defensive battles. no one will criticize his offensive gifts.
hes going to be great .. but yesterday was not his best showing.
You don't even need to find a high end replacement for Rielly. He useless defensively and most of the time he makes more mistakes than offence.
Had Sandin not been injured he would have been Bogos partner all season long.
