You're the only one who said he's a forgone conclusion to sign anywhere. Is there a team out there who is not willing to bet on itself? An asset like gaudreau comes up what, once every year or two. The offers will be significant, BT knows how to extract value. If buffalo doesn't want to bet on itself with a guy like eichel at 1c, they might as well fold up shop. If they acquire gaudreau, they will be the odds on favourite to sign him to his next contract. If they don't bet on themselves, someone else will.
