I think he is a 80-100 point player worth 8-10M
There is quite a bit of "grass is greener" thinking going on IMO

My problem is in thinking that Gaudreau's next contract will come in in the $8–10 m range. If he is as good as many of us believe him to be, then he is getting a +$10 m deal by the time he is a UFA, and my greatest fear would be tying up that kind of money to a winger even as good as Gaudreau is for the kind of term it will take to lock him down. Furthermore, doing so at the same time that Monahan and Lindholm will be 27-years-old, Backlund will be 33, and Giordano wi be 38 does not strike me as a great idea. We are already at the point where the Flames should be focused on beginning a transition to a younger core group.
