I mentioned something similar earlier in the thread.

If I was Gio, and was confident in my ability to stay healthy and competitive going forward, I would sign a short term (5 or less) deal and sign a bunch of 1 year deals afterwards. Selanne made himself a load of extra dough by doing this as opposed to signing a long term deal that drives the cap hit down with small later years.
