Those deals did buy one year of UFA rights. I'm sure Chicago would happily go back in time and add 800k per year to get two more years on those deals today.
Gaudreau is an unique case because he can't be offer sheeted aND had no atitration rights. He really only can with hold service as a bargaining tactic. So for that reason I would think his camp would be more interested in a shorter term deal. The Flames can be patient here, they can potentially get great value here if they can secure a long term.
