You can hum and haw about it all you want. Everything you're taking issue with is no less "out there" than your assertion he's going to sign a 3 year deal. You're looking at this issue with your head in the clouds as well. It doesn't really matter what you'd think is fair. He's likely going to be a top 10-15 NHL defending when he's considering an extension, and he'll be paid like it at a reasonable term.

The question isn't what Doughty or any one else signed for (noting Doughty was an RFA). It's what Gio could make on the open market and what it would cost to replace what he brings to the Flames, including intangibles.
