Not calling this a trend, just stating the arguments that ignore AAV aren’t very persuasive.

It’s not a zero value. But it won’t be $10M. And if Gaudreau is able to get a nice new contract after 7 years, he will also be able to get one after 8. So 8x10.5 plus, say a 4x$5M is still better than 7x11 and a 5v$5M deal.
