Overpaying Gaudreau isn't going to move the Flames from a bubble team to a contending team, in fact it would do the exact opposite.

The market is the market, regardless of your opinion of it. Johnny is elite, and will be paid as such.
My note about Calgary changing from a bubble/non-playoff into something else was about Calgary not currently having the same negotiating power as Florida and other good teams. You can get players to sign for “less” if you’re selling them on joining/staying on a winning team - Calgary doesn’t have that, whereas Florida/Tampa/Boston etc. do.
