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.
No he’s right the extra year costs $12 million in that scenario. Based on circumstances at the time, I doubt that was seriously considered by the Flames nor a serious ask by Gaudreau’s camp.
