Millions was speculating (something he's famously horrible at) the Flames are using "the captain as a benchmark" and are "fairly adamant" Gaudreau's contract stays below that 6.75 level. He never uttered the words "Gio Cap" nor did anyone say it was a hard and fast rule the Flames live by. That quote was taken and ran with by the crazies here.

Nobody ever addressed my point about Gaudreau's production relative to Tarasenko's. 18% is not a trivial difference

Tarasenko scored 37 goals before he signed his new deal. 37 goals that tied him for 5th in the NHL that season. You can thump the 18% all you want but seven more goals is a major factor in debating offensive numbers. Goals > assists and Gaudreau's 30 goals are a clear notch behind.
Can Gaudreau be a 40 goal scorer? Maybe, once or twice. Tarasenko has a couple 50 goal seasons in him IMO.
