Gaudreau kind of gets screwed by the CBA here. I wonder how much that is playing into the contract negotiations?
I mean he doesn't have Arb rights and has an extra year of RFA due to his birthday. Maybe that is prolonging the negotiations because he knows if he ends up with a shorter term contract an Arb would give him big money but if he signs 8 year wont make as much over his career.
So many different ways to look at this negotiation.
I still think he doesn't miss a game however...
