I'm still a bit leery until we see him on the ice. You never know how he is going to respond. Sometimes players having serious injuries like the one Gio suffered don't bounce back to their normal self. I'd hate to have a newly signed long term contract for a player that isn't the same player.

I wouldn't be shocked if that's why he hasn't been signed yet. The cap is going to be an issue moving forward, and having a bad contract can cause problems. If he's 100%, then a 7.5/6 deal isn't bad for what he brings. If not, then hold off and see if he'll re-sign for less (5.5-6 per)
