Still think the end game here is to follow the "Giordano" cap for the years he is actually on the team and then the last two years Gaudreau makes the market value. Also makes sense since those happen to be Gaudreaus UFA years that you are buying out.

Years 1 - 6: $6.75M
Years 7 -8: $8.5M

Works out to ~$7.2M AAV - which also seems to be pretty fair ground between Johnny's asking price and what the Flames are offering.
