If the Flames don't want to give term (More then 4 years) they will be paying 8.5-9 mil or Gio will hit the market and watch another team probably pay more in FA.
If the Flames want a lower cap hit, you start adding years at the end of the contract at lower real dollar amounts.
We shouldn't really be worried in 6 and 7 years if his cap hit is high if his real dollar amount is low. Those contracts are easy to move if need be.
