At this time of year, salary means nothing. It's all about performance when the puck drops.
Funny thing is that when he was being announced during the starting lineups last night I had the distinct thought that we were lucky to have signed him. Can you imagine Smid or Diaz being pushed into the top 4 after Gio's injury?
Of course, the two goals were just icing on the cake; after the first one went in, the second time you thought, "nawwww, no way that one goes in too". Then, later in the game he had the puck again and people were yelling "shooooooot"
