Based on what? With the exception of Tavares most players that want to stay where they are do so. Most players prefer to negotiate after the season ends. We heard the the same thing about Stamkos. We heard the same thing about Landeskog just last offseason. Johnny will want as much leverage to get as high a number as he can and with the season he is having that is a good plan. There is a possibility an injury could bring his pace down which would benefit BT to wait and see or if his pace slows down. So it benefits him to wait too. If Gaudreau wants to stay it will get done and I think he does, I am not concerned about Gaudreau at all. I am actually more concerned about Tkachuk than Gaudreau going forward contract wise.
