Pretty much everyone seems to agree it would be around the Tarasenko deal or maybe a bit less. So I'm not sure who you are arguing with.
Any talk of a Gio cap is ridiculous IMO. It flies in the face of the message from the Flames organization from top to bottom, would hinder the teams ability to compete on the ice, and is something each of Burke, Treliving and Gio would be disgusted with. It just can't be a thing. If Gaudreau signs long term for anything less than 7, Brad is Xavier, just telling people what to do.

I'm debating the idea that its careless to offer him 7M-8M a year. He had a better year in his contract year than Tarasenko, and its a year later with inflation, so he should absolutely get paid Tarasenko money or more. If I were Gaudreau's agent, I'd be arguing that perspective.
