We'll likely see them settle in the $7.5-$7.75 range, imo. Anything over that and it starts to get a little tight for building a contender, but I'd still feel good that we ever got Johnny in the first place and that he turned into a superstar.
This contract is the type of problem you want to see your team going through, rather than the more common "how do we acquire/draft a star like that?".

Why not? What makes Gaudreau worth 700k-1.2M more than Nathan MacKinnon? Jersey sales?
Steven Stamkos got $7.5 per after a 51 goal 95 point season at age 20 and a 45 goal 91 point season the year after that. You really want to give Johnny Gaudreau that kind of money after one year where he was ALMOST PPG?
