Both sides win in this one - great AAV at $6.75MM!

So does he play this season on the old contract or the new one?

#Flames have TJ Brodie under contract for five more years. Six for Dougie Hamilton. Seven for Mark Giordano. That's quite a defence core.

6.75 is a really great price point.
Absolutely stoked about this contract.

6x6.75 i.e. almost the Oilers contract. The difference? We spend it on a Norris candidate, not on a 21 year old who has accomplished nothing.

Our defence is scary good for the foreseeable future.

That is a fair deal, great news to have the captain locked up.

A little high for my liking considering the term, but to be fair when he signed the last contract I thought it was high at the time and I was dead wrong.

Well, it's a year longer than I would have liked. But the total dollar value of the contract is right at my threshold for a 5 year deal. So I guess this is pretty good.

I'm happy with 6.75 AAV

Wanted 6.5 or 6 for 6 years but it's not a deal breaker.

That leaves plenty of room once expiring contracts come off the books for Monahan and Gaudreau and Bennett moving forward. If Hudler bites on a fair deal too we all win.

So it seems Treliving put all his bad contracts into one (Engelland), to which I will gladly accept

The old one. The extension kicks in starting 16-17.

6 is fine with me - he will be productive for that long IMO.

ETA: just saw the dollars, which are fine as well.

Old contract. This one takes effect for the 2016-2017 season and lasts through the 2021-2022 season.

This is great! Treliving must use magic! Our defence corps is going to be so good for many years to come!

Great AAV today, might not be as great in 5 years.. but overall I think that is a fair deal for both sides. Also helps to set the stage for future contracts with some of the young stars. Similar to when Iggy was here, nobody should be making more than Gio.

Giordano agreeing to less than $7M a year another example why he's one of the best leaders in the game. Willing to sacrifice to win. #Flames

I can definitely live with this. Both sides had to give and take a little and this seems fair for both sides. Great work Treliving.
