That will have some impact on negotiations I'm sure, but I really think Giordano holds most of the cards here, and he knows it. I can't imagine how he won't get $8-9m on at least the first three years of the new deal. He knows if he goes to UFA, he will be the most sought after defenseman since Chara.
