Why does everyone think Giordano is being traded? Can’t imagine he’d be named their first captain already without him being a part of their long term plans. I guess if he really doesn’t want to extend then they might but haven’t seen anything indicating he doesn’t
McCann and Donskoi have been arguably their two best forwards so I highly doubt they're traded unless it's an overpay. Jankrok possibly but he just got into the lineup so need to see how he does. I can't see how Giordano isn't traded, hopefully he has a good season so they can get a nicer return. The players likely to be traded are Donato, Sheahan and Johansson if they're out and possibly one of Soucy/Fluery/Lauzon if they can get a forward in that same age range back.
He's 38 and he's a UFA at the end of the season.
Makes some sense to move him at the deadline if he hasn't extended by then.
Even if they hope to resign him, they might be up for moving him to a contender to give him a chance at the cup, and the offer him a contract to return in the summer the way the blues used to do with Guerin every year
It will most likely depend on how they are doing in the standings at the deadline though.
this is exactly why I thought it was shortsighted to name him (or anyone year one for that matter, but him especially) captain; it makes for some pretty unfavorable optics if they trade him at the deadline. he could definitely bring back a first with retention from a contender, allowing Seattle to recoup the assets they missed out on due to so few of the expansion side deals that Vegas was able to take advantage of.
if anyone is serious trade bait it’s Donato, Lauzon, & the Fleury bros, IMO

Imo, it made zero sense to select him in the first place if they weren't planning on dealing him at the deadline. Seattle is an expansion team. They shouldn't be mortgaging the future to go all-in this year.
I also don't see why Giordano would be signing an extension in Seattle if Seattle shows it isn't a contender at this point in his career. This is a guy who's never played in a second round game in his entire career.

I haven't monitored their player movements. I had the impression Seattle had more defenders under contract than they could keep on the roster, and expected them to make some trades in training camp. Don't think that happened. Did they send guys to the AHL that are still potential trade chips?

As an Avs fan I'd love to get our hands on Jarnkrok at the deadline.
I think he's a really good utility sort of player that can play Center, Wing, 3rd line, 4th line, 2nd line as a 3rd wheel sort. He can kill penalties, can play the PP.
I think he'd be an excellent Donskoi replacement for us. Would be curious the cost. We dont have much in the way of draft picks(No 1st or 2nd this year), but have some decent prospects that are tinkering on being NHL ready.
I'd imagine given historical value, something like a 3rd + B- sort of prospect would be close to fair value.
