We are currently halfway through the Gaudreau contract and have 1 playoff win to show for it. The clock is ticking on either trading him, lose him for nothing, or get to pay him $10M+ for his 29-36 age seasons.
I think the Flames should go for the 8 year deal but knowing Treliving he loves that 6 year term (Gaudreau, Giordano, Backlund, Lindholm, Hanifin)

I'm not sure this is an argument in favour of a longer term.
