IMO, it's that type of community policing that helps maintain a higher quality in a board. Otherwise you get a Don Cherry-esque community: Tonnes of bluster and bravado up front, preening when they get something right, and radio silence when they're wrong.

Since I was very vocal there wasn't a "Gio cap" I'll eat crow in this regard.
The contract came in under Giordano's money and Mackenzie has stated that the Flames didn't want to pay Johnny more than Giordano's 6.75m.
If the Gio Cap was "they don't want to pay him more than 6.75m", then I was completely wrong.
I was under the impression that a Gio Cap (much like the Alfie cap) was the idea that the Flames wouldn't let any player make more than Giordano out of respect or something silly like that. In that case, the jury is still out.
