Dion Phaneuf did the same thing.
You appear to believe Gaudreau is going to be gunning for the Hart and Art Ross trophies for the length of his next contract. Fine.
Everyone involved (and the fans, who are definitely not involved) wants exactly that to happen, but it's irresponsible and job-losing and team-screwing to pay the guy based on what you want to happen.
You love the guy. Fair enough. I do to, but I love the Flames more, and can't ignore the fact that there is a salary cap. And that as much as I want it to happen, he might not be Patrick Kane.
