Nugent Hopkins just re-signed for $5.125M
Gaudreau will re-sign for ??
Is Gaudreau more physical than RNH? Is he better defensively? Is he a better leader (obviously not, judging by the fact he’s lead the team in scoring nearly a decade and doesn’t wear a letter)?
$6M is fair for Gaudreau. If he wants $8M, he needs to improve outside of his offensive production, otherwise I hope he gets that money from a different team.

Gaudreau is the Flames catalyst. While the Nuge leeches points off of McDavid. Pretty big difference. If you swapped roles, I’m pretty sure we’d see a huge gap between the two.
