It's further possible (although I admit this is completely speculative) that both sides know what a fair market value is for Gaudreau, but the team doesn't have enough cap room to make it happen yet. They could be trying to move a contract in order to free up the room to sign Gaudreau.

What is the maximum the team can offer him as it stands to be cap compliant this season?
I realize there are a lot of variables and time related changes possible.
