Gaudreau should take the guaranteed big payday while it's there, and it would still set him up to sign another big deal at age 30. His UFA value would be considerably lower starting at age 32-33.
Team generating revenue in CAD in a resource based economy projected as "lower for longer" but paying salaries in USD couldn't benefit over the next 2-3 years?

Economists' projections do not support your assertion, with all due respect
