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.
Gaudreau would be 5.75x5 + 8x1 which would only be 6.125 AAV
it's not insulting Gaudreau to drive his contract value down. It's just the situation he's in with 5 RFA years, and I'm valuing them at 5.75 not 3 or 1.

There really can't be anyone arguing that 20 year old Kane with 40 goals and 116 pts in 104 games AND a SC ring in his last elc year >>> Gaudreau.
