There is no way the Flames would pay an extra $12M to get one more year. And there is no way Gaudreau wouldn't have taken it
First it's a extra 750k per season, which would be an extra $4.5 over the past 6 seasons. So not an extra $12M.

The rumour was the Gaudreau side wanting the 7 x $7.5M, but the Flames not liking it, so you are correct in that aspect. Though if the Flames knew in advance they would have wasted the extra 750k/yr then they would have happily signed him to the 7 x $7.5 contract.
