He doesn't have the resume to be among the highest paid players in the league. I'd be really worried about going a penny over 7x7. Even that could really blow up in the Flames face.
Why does it have to be done this summer? If Giordano want to be payed like a Norris trophy winner he should be given that chance. Let him start the season without an extension. If he is still playing like a Norris candidate in February, then pay him.
But for a guy who will be 32 when next season starts, he just doesn't have the resume that an elite player should have. I wanna see him do it for at lest another half of a season.
