Not that I'm aware of. I'd be interested in seeing/hearing a quote of Treliving saying such a thing.
He may have vaguely made reference to it when Gaudreau was signed. No one who has signed since then has really ever approached having a contract of that value, so it wouldn't really make sense for Treliving to mention it when no one has come within $1 million of Gio/Gaudreau's cap hit since Johnny signed.
Regardless, Gaudreau signed 3 years ago when the cap was 89.6% of this year's cap. With the rate at which the cap goes up every year, it would be foolish to think they could maintain the same internal player cap for 6 seasons.
