But this isn't an anti-Gaudreau thing at all ... love the player. Honestly the only thing that I've ever disliked about his was his showing up refs for slashes but he's completely cleaned that up.
And now becoming a 200 foot player and reinventing himself? It's what the team really needed.

I wouldn't do 8 x 11 either. You can't win paying Gaudreau that much money. And I'm not sure about going to 10, but I probably would do it especially if I was confident that Darryl would coach past next year.
I think there are some fans that don't have a walk away price for Gaudreau and would pay him anything vs. losing him for nothing
It's interesting to debate, meanwhile we don't even know if they are negotiating. Or maybe Gaudreau wants to see signs of a winning team and it's not about the $'s. Who knows.
