Easy... Del Zotto's has top-end offensive ability and Girardi does not. His numbers have tapered off recently, but that's because our supposed top 6 players like Drury, Kotalik and Higgins have disappeared or have been non-factors all season. I don't think Del Zotto is playing any differently now than he was when he was picking up points.
Girardi is better defensively now, but that's too be expected considering Del Zotto was playing with little kids a year ago. How many players make the jump from juniors to the NHL and dominate? Probably like .01% of all draft picks
