As the Tampa Bay Lightning player grade series continues, we reach our evaluation of Dan Girardi. Safe to say his tenure with the Bolts was at best mediocre, and at worst a detriment to the team. Nothing against him personally, of course. He sounds like a really nice and caring guy, but in the cold world of sports, his icetime and cap dollar could be much better used elsewhere. [Raw Charge]
It was a very serviceable season from Dan Girardi on the Tampa Bay Lightning. He was a regular defenseman for the team that finished first in the NHL.
