I think it's probably 4/32 or 8/50.

You get term or you get cash, but you can't have both.

8/50 should be fine as long as the cap increases over the next 8 seasons. Lots of places to lose a ton of cap like goaltending, but I don't know.. maybe doesn't leave enough room for the kids new contracts...

I think Treliving is taking the same approach with Gio as he did with Glencross.

Glencross tried to jump the gun on an extension as an older player and it backfired after mediocre season. Any dip in Giordano's performance will result in him losing a ton of leverage come contract time.
