If he wants to sign for a fair market number, I would lean to that, but as someone mentioned, you have to be able to support him with more talent up front.
if you can't do that, you might as well trade him, as he isn't a Kucherov or Point; he needs to have someone elite (not Monahan) that can take some pressure off of him carrying the puck all the time...

If the Jets Oilers series taught us anything, it’s that even the McDavid’s and Draisaitl’s of the world need more support. If Mr generational talent himself can’t get it done, why should anyone expect Gaudreau to do the same. The best teams generally win the Cup, not the best individuals. The Flames need more stars, more talent and more depth.
