It’s getting to the point where Gaudreau can demand $11 million+ with the season he is having. He has honestly become one of the most complete players in the game and his skill set is at such an elite level. What a great example with his back check tonight and gorgeous feed to tkachuk with 5 seconds left in the period. Unreal.
Look what guys like Panarin are making to play in places like New York city. I would argue that Gaudreau is just as good of a player (even better IMO) so to get him to stay in Calgary will likely cost even more.
And tkachuk won’t be far behind. I think the numbers to get them both signed (and I hope they do) is $11 million and $10.5 million x 8 years. I know it’s a lot but I think that’s the cost to keep stars in this market. Treliving played hardball with Gaudreau on his last contract. There’s no chance that can happen this time.
