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.

Gaudreau is pending RFA, and that makes a HUGE difference when it comes to salary. He shouldn't get any more than Tarasenko did.
