Gaudreau seems like a prime candidate for a long career and IMO, UFA at 35 vs 36 has more than a zero value to him. Flames will have to pay for that 8th year.

I went off capfriendly. But this year, so a few players probably are now without a contract that played last year. Either way, Calgary will no doubt pay 10M or so for the last year. Another team would have to offer 7m to him at age 35 to make the difference. Look at new contracts for age 35 players at that amount. Pretty few and far between.
