Don't think he deserves any more than 7.5 a year. Love the guy and hope he gets locked down long term but in the back of my head I cannot help but wonder if there's an intent by the Gaudreau side to price himself out of range and perhaps try to make a trade out east for him.
Knowing how tight he and his family are, I don't know if a long term deal out west is what any of them want. If it was Johnny alone I think a deal would be done by now.
