I don't see Johnny going to Russia.

So why does he deserve so much more money than every other young star in the game?
Stamkos 2nd contract - 7.5 per in 2011, 11.7% of Cap ceiling.

If Gaudreau signs 8 per it would be 10.95% of cap ceiling. So he's not asking more then other young stars have gotten in the past.
