Seattle feels like a good name for an agent to throw out as interested to drive the cap price up.
Gross can use Philly as being Gaudreau's preference as his home town - but without a JVR or Provorov trade happening first they don't have the space to offer much more than $9.5-$10M.
Seattle is the perfect tool for an agent to use in negotiation because they have nothing but cap...that's the team Landeskog used last season too when the rumors of him getting $9-$10M offers came up.
