I don't know when Gaudreau's bonus structure comes into effect or whether anything the PA has voted on has deferred those bonuses like they've deferred free agency and the draft, but that will be a significant factor as well.
the price for gaudreau will be a lot lower if the Flames can find someone to take him before that 3 million dollar bonus is due. Knowing the flames ownership I'd suggest that's a pretty big pinch point too.
If the bonus has already been paid out, price goes up.
