If you pay him $8M per year, you're essentially saying there's a 0% chance that Gaudreau will score less than 75 points per season throughout the duration of his contract. If he's only scoring 60-70 points per season, you likely don't want to commit that type of money to an undersized winger. With a new coaching system coming into place, who knows how that will affect his play. That's why I'm hoping the contract doesn't go higher than $7.0M AAV.
