When Mark Giordano can parade a Stanley Cup or a Norris Trophy around, I'll say he is worth north of $7M dollars long term.

Bolded are all players that were signed under the old CBA, give them new contracts under the current CBA and Weber, Suter, Doughty, Karlsson are all 8M+

I'm not saying 8x8, but 8M on a 2 or 3 year deal for sure. I don't know if he'll sign for that short though, I imagine he'll want term.
