Sheldon Keefe on Tyler Bertuzzi’s game: “He doesn’t get enough credit for his ability to make plays… He’s someone the best guys want to play with”

Mark Giordano is going to be 40 this season. What have you seen from him in camp, and what does he have to do to keep him?

Keefe: Gio has looked good. In terms of taking care of himself, I think this is the best shape I have seen him in from a conditioning standpoint. That bodes well in terms of him being able to fight off father time a little bit.

Early in camp, he has been his competitive self. He has defended well. All of those things are great.

Regardless of what the number is, he was a top-four defenseman for us for what was a really good team in the regular season.
