The Seattle Kraken will begin play in the National Hockey League in the 2021-22 season. The expansion draft to fill their roster will take place on July 21, meaning the 30 participating clubs (Vegas is exempt) have some decisions to make.
For the Calgary Flames, one of their key decisions regards the future of their captain, Mark Giordano.
A brief history of Giordano
Everyone knows Giordano’s remarkable story, because it’s quite unique and awesome in the context of what we think high-level hockey usually is.
Undrafted at every level of hockey, he made the OHL’s Owen Sound Attack as a 19-year-old on a try-out and became one of their most effective players.
