You think Gaudreau should get $76 million guaranteed? And just because Wild overpaid Kaprizov because of an KHL threat doesn't make it comparable to Gaudreau.
It doesn't matter what I think.
It matters what the market is.

I believe the market says Gaudreau is a 9M player for 5 years, so if I wanted to keep him, I'd have to pay it.

I would pay it. Let's say you get rid of Gaudreau because you won't pay him 9M. who do you replace him with, and what assets do you have to give up to get said player?
