1) Point taken on inflation, but cap growth has slowed to around 2.9% the past couple years. Those years are far more relevant than what happened in the mid 2000s. It is also widely acknowledged that there is no sudden growth coming. So let's give you the benefit of rounding and say 3%.

2) I acknowledge that Gaudreau has produced more points, but disagree strongly that points are the be all and end all. Tarasenko is bigger, stronger and scores more goals. That is worth value. To keep it easy I propose we call it a wash.

So assuming Tarasenko got $6M for RFA and $9M for UFA and factoring in inflation, Gaudreau's Tarasenko equivalents would be:

8x$7.3M
7x$7.1M
6x$6.7M

Do you agree?
