				What will Giordano's next contract be?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			With Treliving proclaiming that the #1 priority this summer was signing Giordano to an extension, speculate on what the value and term will be.

If he wants a contract until he's 40, he's going to need to take a sizable discount. If I was him, I'd sign a short term deal for big $$ and then 1 year deals for each year after 35.

Not that I think you are biased GioforPM but I felt like his last contract was fair value until this year. 
 
He never took a home town discount on his last contract, he simply improved beyond it year over year

			Treliving doesn't like contracts more than 5 years and I don't think Giordano is going to squeeze the Flames for every last cent. 
 
So I would guess:  5 yrs x  $7.25
