Gordon's responsibilities as part of a team manning the field guns kept him back from the thick of the action: anywhere from about half a mile to five miles from the front line (from three-quarters of a kilometre to eight kilometres).

Gordon has always projected for third-line NHL duty, but the question is his ability to chip in regular offense at the professional level.
Gordon received a $1,100,000 signing bonus on signing, while his NHL salary was $500,000 in each of the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons, rising to the 2002 rookie maximum of $1,185,000 in the final year of the deal (2005-06).
