5.75M here vs 5.5M in Boston - Great work Treliving!
two factors to consider why he was asking for much more in Boston
1. Boston vs Calgary - one team is falling, the other rising - asking for more meant he could be traded to a favourable situation for a run at the cup during this 6 year deal
2. More money in his pocket in Calgary due to Alberta vs Massachusetts taxation rates
More #1 and than #2, but still - awesome deal. Says to me that Giordano is coming in around 7.5-8.5 based on how he would scale (30-50% more)
