No one is going to give him 10 M a year.
Funny you bring up Gaudreau though....he is actually a guy who can walk to UFA in about 6 months. No one seems to hold that against him.
Matthew is 23 years old. Johnny is 28. Both are key guys on this club, but get treated completely differently by the fan base.
Its just weird to me.
