If we wanted to relate these deals somehow, one could argue that each of Gaudreau's RFA/UFA years are worth $2.000 AAV more than Huberdeau's. I think that'd be pretty fair.
It'd break down the contracts like:
Huberdeau
4.600 (RFA)
4.600 (RFA)
6.600 (UFA)
6.600 (UFA)
6.600 (UFA)
6.600 (UFA)
= 6yrs @ 5.933 AAV
Gaudreau
6.600 (RFA)
6.600 (RFA)
6.600 (RFA)
6.600 (RFA)
6.600 (RFA)
8.600 (UFA)
= 6yrs @ 6.933 AAV

I think that's a pretty good way to look at it, and then if they were to sign on for years 7 and 8, those additional years would be potentially impacted by inflation (something like 9.0M and 9.5M for year 7 and 8), which would put his 8 year AAV at around 7.5M.

I know you didn't say this has no impact on Gaudreau's negotiation, but the first 2 posts in this thread did. That's all I meant.

I think you are right in that this new data point is yet another factor in the Gaudreau valuation.
