If it's reasonable it could be alright, but I don't want a $9+mil AAV Gadureau for 8 years, which is likley around where his contract will land for whatever team signs him.

Gaudreau is not getting 9+M for 8 years from anyone. I have not heard anyone speculate that number in the media. I have heard 8M over 6 years. Gaudreau doesn't take much body abuse either, he should age well no matter what the term. You also are not going to get any kind of impact player back in a JG trade at this point and he is the guy who stirs the offence here so if the Flames trade him they might as well go full rebuild which they clearly are not. It will get done and it will get done here. The team wants to try and contend, the player has made it very clear he wants to stay, it will get done.
