I dont know.. If i was a smaller, prolific scorer in the league where I knew guys would be taking runs at me, I would have to consider how much longevity i have in the league. I wouldnt be thinking that im going to get hurt, but there is a possibility that there could be some concussions down the road or other serious injuries. Would i leave money on the table? Absolutely not.
Gaudreau is going to be in the top ten in scoring year after year for the most part of his career. Why would he not be looking for an 8x8+? If that be the case and the Flames eat up a few years of UFA, then $9mil+ could be a number his agent would be pushing for.
