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)

Man, how effective will Gio be late on in his career? $7.5 AAV for a 37 year old Gio makes me nervous with guys like Mony, Johnny & Bennett set to become big time players, Dougie and Brodie already there, and no concrete long-term goalie plan. Scary.
