The way I look at it is Gio has been underpaid by about 3 million per year for the last 3 years. I think he's worth about 7.5 per year right now. So to make it up to him, Calgary owes Gio about 6 extra. Over a 5 year contract, I would do 10M + 10M + 10M + 7.5M + 6.
That seems most fair to both the team and Giordano.
