I love Giordano. But he will be 33 when the contract starts. He has been elite for just two seasons in his career, and he was injured for around 20 games in each of those seasons.
Your logic isn't logical. Sekera getting 5.5 x 6 doesn't equal a top 10 D deserving 8 or 9 million. In fact, if this off season taught us anything is that with the cap not climbing teams aren't willing to hand out crazy contracts. I doubt Giordano would get 8 million even on the open market at this point.

You completely missed the context of the conversation that my post was part of. Completely. It was a reference to 'current value'.
The really amazing thing is that 3 people actually thanked your post, despite that fact.
(by the way, I agree with your point, being that Giordano should not get $8M on any kind of long term deal).
But to my point (which you quoted)... if Giordano signed a two-year deal
today, what do you think the AAV would be?
