i think that there could be a compromise (whether either party bites is a different question)...
but maybe something that has a 7.0 base but then performance bonuses that bring it up to 9 as a max? gio is asking for nine because he feels that he is performing to that level and can repeat it... a reasonable bonus structure, like games played, points of course, making the playoffs etc would allow that to happen but still insulate calgary if there are injuries or if he does hit the proverbial wall
