True but you have to weigh the pros and cons. If Gio's long term cap hit becomes a boat anchor in 3 years and prevents us from signing young stars then the downside starts to outweigh the benefit. Anywhere even remotely close to 9M x 8yrs would cripple this franchise unless Gio suddenly morphs into Chelios in his late 30's. 3-5 year term or trade him for a huge return.
