I dont think anyone feels that Gaudreau is overpaid. But at this point his trade value will never be higher than what it is now.
If the Flames signed Gaudreau to a 8 year deal for 9.5 a year today I hazzard to guess that most would be very pleased. Its the notion that he's gone in 3 years for nothing terrifies some as the current team did fail badly in the playoffs so fans think they will be left with 3 more years of failure and a guy who bolts leaving the team as a barren wasteland organization. Which is not completely unfounded as the Flames have managed asssets poorly for 25 years now.
This is a pretty good contract for Vegas. Karlsson at worst is a solid second line center and I think his style of game should lend itself to longevity alright.
