Who in this thread is crapping on Gio? Look at the poll results. Read the thread. Most of us (myself included) are suggesting that the Flames should put Gio amongst the highest paid players in the league until his late 30s early 40s.
My only issue with this is that I don't think it needs to be done this summer. And if a Giordano extension is announced this summer I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.
And BTW, Giordano is not the driving force behind where we are. That is Hartley, Monahan, Hudler, Gaudreau, Backlund, Jones, Bouma Colborne, Stajan, Bolig, Bennett, Raymond, Byron, Ferland, Wideman, Russell, Brodie, Engelland, Schlemko, Hiller, Ramo AND Giordano. I know I forgot a few but you get the point. This is a team.
And the face of the team is debatable. I'd go with Hartley myself.
