I didn't have a question to answer.

I was responding, and saying that I would have no problem 'valuing' Gaudreau's UFA years at 10M a year. He's still a mostly RFA contract, so it's not a big deal to overvalue 3/8th's of the contract by a mil or so if it means signing Gaudreau long term. If the difference is giving him a Tarasenko contract at 7.5M for 8 years, or losing him to Philly when he turns 27, give him the Taresenko contract.
