Mark Giordano makes truly baffling career decision
Mark Giordano is a defenseman with a lot of mileage on him especially when you consider the fact that he is 40 years old.
However, there is no doubt that Giordano is a fighter. He had a bad season in 2023/24, only suiting up for 46 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Additionally, he only managed a total of 9 points. However, it was revealed today that Giordano has made a decision about his future.
"Mark has made the decision that he's playing for a few more years," Giordano's agent Rich Winter told The Toronto Star. "He feels very confident. He's been talking to a lot of people who tell him: Don't quit until they make you."
For now, Giordano does not have a contract in place for next year. He could certainly get a PTO, but nothing is guaranteed. Retirement is still on the table, although it seems like he would rather avoid that decision for at least another couple of seasons.
Do you agree with Giordano and his decision to keep playing hockey? Let us know in the poll down below. Additionally, stay tuned to Hockey Unplugged for the latest news and updates from around the hockey world.
