I don't like anything about these negotiations. Other than I feel like the Flames brass and I share the same logic, anything over 7 million isn't good/disasterous long term for the team.
If it is getting acrimonious, that means there's some hard lines the Flames are taking. And I respect that.
Because in my mind, Gaudreau doesn't deserve anything close to the Kanes and Stamkos's of the world. He hasn't earned that yet. Those guys put up many great seasons before getting that kind of money.
