You think? That could lead to an offersheet, arbitration or an AAV that is much, much higher than what he would sign right now on an 8 year deal. I don't think the Flames will be contenders for at least two years so I really don't see the upside to a bridge deal.
I want a 7/8 year deal, anything less and I will be disappointed. Gaudreau is only going to increase his value going forward so in the long run, a bridge might actually leave less money for Brodie, Bennett and Tkachuk... the very thing they presumably are trying to avoid by grinding this out right now.
