I think if he wants 7.5M-8M its for three years or no thanks. Anything longer than that and I would want an aav of something a lot closer to 6. Too much risk when your talking about a 37 year old Giordano who has only been a stud for 2 years. And has missed time due to injury in both those seasons. I know how great of a player he is and how important his leadership is as captain. But you have to always be looking ahead and managing your future cap as well as your current cap when your trying to build a perennial contender.
