My only stake in this is the hope that Flames management are doing their due diligence and making the best deal they possible can. Of course, I think we all agree that Gaudreau is a very valuable player, but it is in no way hypocritical or ignorant to also hope that the Flames are able to work out a great deal for the team. Beginning their negotiations in the ballpark of $8 m is a sure way to see that that doesn't happen.
In the end, I think Gaudreau will sign long term in the range between $6.8–7.3 m; the lower that number is the happier I will be.
