I don't get how a guy who has been historically a 40pt winger is not worth 3M.
As for whether Baertschi/Gaudreau making the team, there's still a top 9 spot somewhere for one of them. If the other has to go to the AHL, that's not a bad thing. Either of these guys will have to make an impossible case to keep them down. Baertschi still hasn't taken that next step, Gaudreau is likely to continue to blow out expectations but we still need to see that talent actually step in the NHL/AHL level first.
