That's fine that people don't like that contract, I don't either. But that's reality. He would get more than Orpik on the open market. The GM doesn't get to tell the player what he's going to get. There's another outcome other than Gio just swallowing what Treliving gives him. If you think that late contract would hurt the club too much, then bye bye Gio. That's a pill we're gonna have to swallow
