However, at 5 or 6 years, if it doesn't start with a 6 or less, I think Treliving got demolished. At that term, the ball should be completely in Treliving's court as he's giving up the RFA years and letting Gaudreau be a UFA as early as possible. Doing that should at least allow the Flames to sign him at ~6M, making the best of the worst situation.
So what you guys are saying is you think Gaudreau's UFA years are worth $10M+? Because 5x$6M + 3x$10M = $7.5M.
