Considering the above, Huberdeau's contract should look inflated versus Gaudreau's, should Johnny also sign a 6yr. Florida is having to buy expensive UFA years for the majority of the contract, whereas Calgary would only be paying UFA dollars on the last year.

That's a fair assessment, but to definitively say that this has absolutely no impact on Gaudreau's negotiations is absurd. I never mentioned this is a perfect comparable... it was just a one sentence comment that this
might impact Gaudreau's situation.
