Additionally he's from Toronto, and all his models have always seemed to tweak towards the Leafs ... be it in their projection of chances to win the cup, or in his ranking of players or contracts.

He has Gio as being worth 5.8 M more than his 6.75 x 2 or worth something like 9.5 X 2... His model shows that Gio is going to contend for the Norris the next couple of years.... Maybe because Gio is from Toronto ??
On the flip side he has Ryan Suter (dirty American) a year and half younger than Gio coming off a slightly better statistical season than Gio is not worth his 7.5 M in any future year and only worth 5.4 M / year for the last 5 year of his contract.
