I don't think that would have been an issue for the Flames and Giordano. Both sides would probably be happy to do 1 year deals until Gio retires, assuming the current relationship continues through the years.
Where this will make a difference is for the Kovalchuk type UFAs, making it a lot less riskier committing term to them.
