Mark Giordano Admits Things Don't Feel Right in Seattle

The Seattle Kraken pulled a fast one on the Calgary Flames as the Flames wanted to keep their captain and the Kraken named a sky-high price to do so. Turns out the Flames wouldn't ante up, so now Giordano is a Kraken and Wednesday night at the expansion draft he admitted everything felt weird.

Brad Treliving says Mark Giordano "has been the moral compass of this team for a long time." Adds that it closes an important chapter for the Calgary Flames franchise.

The Kraken wanted a first and a third round pick to not select the Flames and Calgary wouldn't pay up. Given the fact 'Gio' has one season left on his contract and will be 38 later this year, you can't really blame them. Now it sounds like the New York Rangers are doing what they can to acquire the veteran defenseman and a trade could be the next move. Let's see if 'Gio' finds it weird in the Big Apple.
