I agree completely. Gio is the Flames - his leadership, character, one of the best captains in the NHL and was on track to be a Norris winner except for an unfortunate injury.
His agent asking for a steep price to start is just part of the negotiation process. What counts is the term and AAV of the contact - I'm expect the AAV to be around $7 million to $7.5 million and if the term is 5 or 6 years - it will be a good deal for Gio and the Flames.
