Gaudreau at 8M is not an overpayment.

If we were getting 8 UFA years then yes 8 mil is not an overpayment, but this is not the case. RFA years are worth less than UFA years which is why you are seeing really good young players signing for around 6 mil. He will probably end up getting paid around 6.7 mil for 5 years and then around 7.2 for 2-3 UFA years which would put the total cap hit around 6.9-7M which I think is fair.
