Wasn't Giordano rumoured to be asking 8 mil at one point too?

That was in the absolute beginning of negotiations. That seemed like standard negotiating tactics: player starts high, team starts low, each works toward what they are actually willing to accept.
With Gaudreau, the pre-season has begun, the regular season is almost upon us. It's a little different.
More I think about it, more I think he signs for 4-5 years at about a 7 million cap hit. Gives him another big payday during his productive years.
Pay the man! Imagine the Flames without him. They go right back to being in the bottom 5 in the league. With him, you can argue potential playoffs. The kid is that good.

they were bottom 5 though
I think he'll get 8 years at around $7-7.25M AAV, and I'm basing this off absolutely nothing.
Wasn't he like 7th in scoring this year? and He's under 25. I don't understand why they don't just pay him! If it was 10 million, I'd understand, that's high but anything below 8.5 mil i think is a great desl for him and his prime years.
