I would bet the farm on him not taking 6y/51m. not a Tkachuk.
I would also be shocked if Gaudreau signed for only 7.75. That to me is under market value for him, and someone would easily pay him a million more per year. So That's the number the flames would have to be at.

Based on how the negotiations went with Brady and how involved Matthew was. I wouldn't be surprised if Matthew wanted an 8 figure cap hit for all UFA years. Matthew's next round of negotiations could be a scary one here. Throw in Gaudreau's camp which will want something comparable, this could very well be Treliving's toughest task ahead of him.
