Good deal, Giordano turns 32 in a month and will be 38 when this new deal finishes (old 1 + new 6) so you're hoping he isn't chugging it up too much by the end of this contract.

Happy overall. Almost 7 million is a big pill to swallow for 6 years, for a guy his age but he was going to get paid by someone next summer if it wasn't us and this is a contract that will be very workable in our cap for the type of player and the role he plays for us. You hope injuries don't make him miss too much time.

Great off season for our GM, thought this contract was going to be around seven and a half.
