On another note, I was not happy to hear Elliot confirm the Gio cap. Not happy at all. I don't see anyway they get Gaudreau signed for less than the captain.

His agent is trying to secure the best deal possible, that's what he's paid to do. TreIiving has to secure a deal that doesn't handcuff the team in the future. That's what he's paid to do. But I'd wager Johnny likes playing professional hockey. So much so that I highly doubt he'd want to waste even a portion of a season squabbling over somewhere around 1 million per season. 6.5 million / season is still a ridiculously large amount of money. Really, what can you buy with 7.5 million that you can't buy with 6.5? He'll sign after the WC. Guaranteed.
