Well aware of what upwards is, the problem is you never used that word in the post I'm referring to, I did in reply that's it. I'll go back and check to make sure though, hold on.

If the difference is 200k on AAV and Gaudreau is asking 7.75M or less on an 8 year deal, it would be foolish for the Flames to not at the very least compromise. They just signed Monahan 100-500k above his comparables. He's our best player, and will likely be the face of the franchise for the next decade, and you get him locked up for the entirety of his offensive prime. Is it really worth letting him sit to save $100k of cap space? Especially when doing so for any significant length of time could be the difference between making the playoffs and golfing?

Nope, don't see the word in your post.
