I think a 3 year bridge deal wold be a pretty good compromise if they can agree on dollars.

The one thing about that though is that Gaudreau would then have arbitration rights would he not?

And if so, do you want the possibility that an arbiter then awards a 2 year deal if it gets to that point and JG can walk as UFA at the end of that term?

Its a bit of a hot potatoe for Treliving and crew IMO, but i still believe they end up just going to the 7 or 8 year deal at an AAV of 7.5 or slightly under.
