Mike G. Morreale at NHL.com has this feature on Dan Girardi..."And to think, Girardi, who signed a free-agent contract with the Rangers in 2006, sat through both the 2002 and '03 Entry Drafts without one of the 30 teams -- that's 583 players -- announcing his name. Good defensemen are hard to come by in any draft and the fact the Rangers were able to discover a blue-chip prospect that has suddenly developed NHL star power is pretty significant in today's defense-first approach to the game."
...since being called up last year Girardi has been one of our best defensemen. And his increased offensive production this year has been a nice bonus.
...its amazing how every team's scouts missed so badly on Girardi.
