It is my understanding Gaudreau will be paid a bonus shortly that leaves him with $10M owing over the next 2 years. All of a sudden when dealing with a budget team you are offering a 27 year old ppg player signed for 2 years at $5M per. The cap hit remains $6.75 but for a team like Buffalo that doesn’t appear to be a problem.
I could definitely see something involving Gaudreau and Reinhart with possibly the 1st round pick swap.
I have read some mocks that have Rossi slipping to 8 and I would be all over that if I am the Flames. Reinhart is a right shot and would sign here long term
