There is some overreaction but my take on the news referenced in the OP is not that Flames are looking for a bargain in retaining Gio but just the opposite, are highly motivated to keep him and are willing to pay a premium.
Let’s wait and see what happens obviously but I’m in the slightly nervous camp. Now I also believe there’s a chance that this is some PR type stuff to make it would like they don’t want to lose him. The Flames don’t seem to run a tight ship in this regard unless it’s Gio’s agent leaking all this.
