I would give him the extra year at the same rate as he's being offered in UFA. It doesn't matter - you're not going to be able to do anything with the extra $1.5M or whatever it ends up being that replaces what Johnny Gaudreau brings.

Well, first of all, it would have been illegal to extend him until the beginning of this year, but have a look at the estimates in the off season. None of them started with an 11.
I'd be hard pressed to give him that right now. 4th highest player in the league? I didn't think Panarin was worth what he got and still don't. But I'd need to know more about the cap projections. I'll admit he has looked 100X better than last year, when I was leery of something starting with 9. That's Kucherov money. And he's not better than Kucherov.
