Hamilton was reportedly offered more from Boston, so I think under fair-market (but with reasons) for him.
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.
