That would put him in the same range as Marner, Tavares, and Kane at just straight up salary. If you look at $8.5-9M elsewhere and adds the likes of Skinner, Backstrom, Benn, Stone, and Seguin. Gaudreau could easily ask that of the Flames and not be out of line.

I bet he at least starts there, with Panarin making $11.6M as a comparable. or using Tkachuk's QO as a comparable.
