Beyond that Giordano makes almost a million less than Suter, so that would factor in, has had elite seasons more recently.

Why would you consider it a dig rather than agreement?
Anyone who is worth 9.5 M / year should be a considered a Norris candidate.
Suter has been grinding out pretty much what would be Gio's career high seasons for the last 5 years except for Gio's magical Norris season.
I would agree that 5.4 x 5 seems a bit high for Suter considering that he will be 40 in year 5. But 9.5 over the next 2 for Gio is not realistic .. He has Morgan Rielly worth 9.2 on the 2 years left on his deal.
