Wont happen they will strike a happy median here. Still think he will get slightly more then $7 million per long term.

All coming off the books over the next 2 years. Thats more than 13M+ in capspace. This year is the year we will get pinched, and then should be okay after that for awhile, provided we don't do anything dumb.

He'll get a blank cheque, write in what you want treatment.
I don't think $8 M is unreasonable for Johnny. He's a franchise player and rare talent, he should be making Tarasenko type money (7.5). $7.5-8.0 M seems fair for what he brings.

Yep, and both are probably eyeballing each other to see who blinks first and signs
Yup pretty much my feeling as well, Both are eyeballing each other to see who blinks first and signs. Sounds like both are willing to wait it out though.
If he's only asking for 8M I'm happy. I figured their asking price would be over that.

That's how I would structure it. Stay's below Gio and ends up at $7.125.

Johnny asks for $8 million Flames tell him $6 million they settle at $7 million. Negotiating 101.
These kids are so young and get to make so much money, it should be just take what the team gives you, when I was their age, I thought $1000 was a lot of money and you could give on it for 2-3 months

This would pretty much be in the ballpark of what i'm thinking as well. This would be a fair deal for Gaudreau slightly more then $7 million in which i'm anticipating he will sign for.
Jarome Iginla, Theoren Fleury, Joe Nieuwendyk, Doug Gilmour and Al MacInnis say hi.

Why the hell would they do that?

Yup maybe slightly more then $7 million, But it will be pretty close to what i think he eventually signs for.

So the Flames are offering about 6.5 and Gaudreau wants 8. My guess is they each fold at 7.25ish which would be an absolute steal on an 8 year deal. If the Flames suck in 8 years and Johnny leaves, I won't even be mad.

I stand with labour over management. These kids (their agents) should negotiate for the best deal they can get.
I could see Johnny signing from anywhere between $7.0-8.0M AAV. He definitely should be making Tarasenko money, he's in that tier.
They would not, of course but it is just insane, how young they are and how much they are making but they deserve it because they spend their whole lives training for one thing, kind of wish I had done the same.

If McDavid asks for 15 million, its because he is the best player on the planet when he does. And that is something to smile about.

Flames will budge up to 7.5. A million or so isn't worth souring the relationship with your star player.
Gaudreau will be worth every penny.

He'll also make more per season than anyone else in hockey. The Players Association wouldn't allow him to take a deal less than most per season at the time of signing.
He'll also be worth it.
This is what I also think, they both will agree, at something between 7-7.3 million range.

These kids will be lucky to have a 10 year professional hockey career. Most don't. So they should absolutely be cashing in when they earn their paydays. Just because they are 20ish years old doesn't mean they don't deserve to be paid fairly.
