Secondly, I am ecstatic to see the Flames are offering exactly what I would offer. I think it would be quite easy to structure a deal where he is making fair RFA money, and during the UFA years he is making $7.5MM.
Why give away $750,000 per season, if you are the Flames? That's $750,000 that can be used to retain a guy like Bennett, Tkachuk or Elliot.

They are going to have to move off that number at least a bit. No way Gaudreau signs for 6.5m unless it's for 5 years imo. I think it's going to be 7 years $50m for a $7.14m cap hit.
