On the flip side as much as I hate to suggest we lose Giordano, if things came down to it and he didn't fit our cap structure we could flip him for a HUGE return. Dude is a diamond in this league and with Hamilton/Brodie on our back end we could deal with the loss of a Giordano in the future.
That said, I think you pay the guy (Hopefully 8MM or less?) and then when Gaudreau et al. are up for a pay raise you look at trading him then not now.
