We have seen enough of Treliving's moves this week to trust him to get this extension done on reasonable terms. Gio is the heart and soul of the franchise and whatever deal gets done will recognize that, but will also recognize that to be successful this franchise needs to sign many other players to longer term deals in the next 2-3 years.

Gio's agent is of course going to start out asking for the sun and the moon. But in the end a rational deal will prevail that works for Gio and works for the Flames. A 6 year deal, that is a bit front-end loaded, but with an AAV in the range of $7.5MM would make sense.

Let's trust in Treliving to get it done right.
