It's not like those teams have an option of getting McDavid instead. The question isn't "is there a team willing to pay more for Gaudreau than McDavid" it's "is a team willing to pay 13M to have Gaudreau play for them?" A team like the Kraken who will be flirting with the salary cap floor once their players are signed would love to make a big splash (heyoo!) with someone like Gaudreau. At least put butts in the seat with a premiere star instead of Eberle...
But I doubt Gaudreau would chase the money completely and find a team like that when he could make just a little bit less in a place he has roots (Calgary, Eastern USA).
