That contract is remarkable if the details about the NTC are true. A modified 10-team NTC starting '20-'21 is great - it's basically not a concern at all seeing as he'll want to go to a contender and there'll be 20 teams he could be traded to. Even past his prime, it guarantees management will have at least a chance to move him instead of having to eat his entire contract in declining years.

Wow this is like the ideal contract for everyone!! My god!! Treliving is love, Treliving is Life!!!!!!
This is some great news! We have our captain locked up for the forseeable future.
Now with Gio taking a 'hometown discount', maybe that means Money and Johnny will take some pay cuts as well
Since last year it has been an awesome time to be a Flames fan!

That and when I suggested 6x6.5 I was laughed at. Who laughing now!
I really have no idea, I assume it's a Harry Potter reference and while I have watched them now, I don't think I paid a ton of attention/\ 80% chance 100TG has no idea who that is or what you guys are talking about.
I'm still stunned that this got done out of nowhere this morning, and was once again good news. Literally everything is coming up Milhouse this summer.
Sometimes I just want to grab you by your neck and scream "why you little"/\ 100% chance 100TG has no idea who that is or what yer talking about.
instead I will settle for laughing at your blog
Years 1 - 3: Great deal
+
Year 4: Good deal
+
Year 5: overpaid veteran dman
+
Year 6: albatross contract
=
Very good contract bordering on excellent in relation to all NHL contracts as all players end up overpaid on long term deals anyways.
Congrats to Brad, Gio and anything else Flames!

It's a little early to be suggesting anything about years 5 and 6. With Gio being a late bloomer and missing time with non-recurring injuries, his body may not be as beaten up as most veterans.

I've never been more excited for a movie than for Force Awakens. Already got plans to see it 3 times opening day.
Also yeah I think with Hamilton now we can try to knock a few minutes off Gios ice time

Now looking back in hindsight it was probably good that Gio got injured because if he didn't he probably would've won the Norris and we would've had to pay him more on this contract.

This is what the real story is multiply the contract by actual games played and its more like $8.5mil.
If he doesn't continue to play the way he has he is just an above average $3-3.5 player. I don't like this deal. Whats not to love about this guy, but it seems like he is being paid for past performance and not future results considering he is made of glass.

I disagree. Giordano playing without the edge would still be worth 6 million, if not more. He's still well above average to elite in most respects.
Same here. I actually pretty much squealed like a little girl when the teaser was first released.

I'm just super happy for Gio and his family. He hit the lotto and it legit couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
