There is nothing overly unrealistic about the Tarasenko comparable. What is unrealistic though is saying that 8x$7.5M for Tarasenko is the same as 8x$7.5M for Gaudreau. Tarasenko's contract was 4 RFA + 4 UFA years, Gaudreau's would be 5 RFA +3 UFA years.
Do you acknowledge that that is the case?
If so, do you acknowledge that Tarasenko at 8x$7.5M is approximately equal to Gaudreau at 8x$7.1M? (assumes their RFA years are worth $6M and their UFA years are worth $9M).
