This is the first time that Calgary is about to sign a young star on a long term deal in the current era. Gaudreau is better than Mackinnon, Monahan and even Tarasenko. Do we want a Subban situation or a Stamkos one? It will take more than 7.5 million a years AAV to buy out 2 years of UFA from a guy who clearly knows he is a superstar in the making. I expect the deal to end up just shy of 8 million AAV.

Why do you think Gaudreau is better than all of those players? Because points? Let's not start sounding like Oilers fans here...
