Inflation doesn't exist in a cap world. It can go up or down. The amount of cap that teams feel should be allocated to one player can go up or down. The value of player X on team Y versus player Z on team AA can be either greater or less than the other. It's not as simple as inflation, nor will it ever be. The exchange rate in Canada is many points worse than when Tarasenko signed his contract which in real NHL dollars actually translates to DE-flation for the NHL and revenue collection, something that was being bandied about all summer.
My simple formula though (SUBJECTIVE AS HELL) is 4x6 + 4x9 = 7.5 AAV. Gaudreau would be 7.125 under that HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE view point.

Sorry Bingo, I didn't mean to imply that you were intentionally being subjective. I was just saying that in any valuation approach, inflation (monetary or cap related) is a consideration.
