It's a roadblock.
If Gaudreau's not asking for UFA like details and the Flames are suggesting they only need to pay him 5M a year for 8 years because he's a 4th round pick then they are out to lunch.
Having said both however, if I had to bet I'd think that Gaudreau's agent is coming in too high based on his client list, and the fact that Monahan just signed for 6.4M. The Flames at that exact contract wouldn't be that far out of the ball park.

No not you, article was fine, though that exact contract would be way off from a value perspective.
