Possibly. I think he wants the deal done now anyways.
If he gets 8 years, it will be a very big payday. I also think multiple options would be available to him in terms of contract structure. I could see Treliving offering him things like this:
8 years x $8.5 million with limited NTC (22 teams)
8 years x $7.5 million with full NTC
7 years x $8.5 million with limited NTC (27 teams)
7 years x $7.5 million with full NMC (+ heavy signing bonus contract)
Gaudreau’s camp would likely be asking for similar term lengths and wanting an extra $1 million on each year. The real number is likely in between and somewhere in there.
