Gaudreau has 3 seasons of being PPG or better, not counting his 115 point season
Matthews got 11.6 barely being a PPGer. Gaudreau has proven himself to be better then Matthews for one.
And again, Gaudreau is a week away from being a UFA. THere is no hometeam discount or a great deal to be had here. Either the Flames pay, or Gaudreau walk and the Flames rebuild.
Squabbling over 500K a year could break the franchise for the next decade. You don't do it.
