Gaudreau is 27 and is signed for $6.75 for 2 more seasons.

OEL is 29 and is signed for $8.25 for 7 more seasons.

Absolutely massive difference in situations lol

The OEL contract didn't look great when it was signed and the cap was expected to rise. Now that it will be stagnant? It's a disaster. The Flames just cut their payroll by 20%. I don't see why they would bring on a player owed 32 million over the next 3 years without some massive incentive (which his play is not).
