$75 million over seven years is going to look a lot better than $76 million over 8 years. Especially with a significantly higher salary cap seven years from now.

They can’t offer Gaudreau an extra year at the same money and expect him to take it.
They have to offer $1M more, with the extra year.
Then it’s worth his while.
