But Brodie? The dude is about 5M underpaid for what he's bringing to the table.
Wait... Green text? You don't really believe Brodie should be paid 9M+ do you?

On topic, has there ever been public commentary from Treliving about this Giordano cap? Or is this just something borne from the Iginla cap that I believe Sutter actually said to the public?

I think Johnny's agent came into the negotiations with a high AAV of 7+ for a relatively short term and the Flames are arguing that if Johnny wants that high a number, it'll have to be max term. I see them finding middle ground somewhere around a 7M number for slightly less than max term, putting Johnny above Giordano's contract.
