Panarin was a year younger than Johhny and signed for one year shorter. It's hardly insulting to offer Johhny in the 80M dollar range - especially factoring in his previous two seasons where he was a 0.85 pts/g player..
If I am Calgary I'd rather sign Gaudreau to a 6 year/11.7M deal than an 8 year/10-10.5M deal.
