Then you can adjust that up for inflation or down because Gaudreau hasn't been quite as productive, but it's a decent guess of a shorter deal.

At the time Kane signed his contract, he had 0.923 PPG (168GP) in a higher scoring era (more power plays back then). Gaudreau has 0.894 PPG (160 GP) which adjusted to the decrease in power plays is pretty much just as productive (compare leaguewide scoring)
So keeping the numbers the same, those numbers adjusted to today's cap ceiling would be:
7.07 x 5 (RFA)
9.83 x 2 (UFA)
= 55M x 7Y
= 7.86M AAV
