Gaudreau is great but IMO he’s not Ovechkin, Malkin, Crosby tier.
He’s more in the Perry, Getzlaf, Carter type of tier, and those guys were all more in the $2-4M contract type of range.
And my guess is 8 years from now the age is trending even younger, just like it’s much younger than it was 8 years ago at this point.
