I don't think there is a real cap. Its a negotiating ploy so the flames don't have to break 7 million before Gaudreaus camp drops to the 7.5 range. Essentailly BT wants to make the final offer by saying for you we'll create the Gaudreau cap at 7.2 but that's the most we can do without insulting Gio or Monahan at which point it looks like Gaudreau's camp has won the negotiation but really everybody wins when he signs 8 years @ 7.2

So no there is no "real" gio cap, it is merely a negotiating tactic until Johnny's camp becomes more reasonable.
