It is kind of interesting to note that since COVID no player has signed a contract for more than $10M AAV.
Barkov at 8x$10M is the highest AAV deal signed since the start of COVID. Lots of players have signed for $9.5M which is my guess on why the Flames started there.
Gaudreau will break that threshold for sure...but I do wonder what offers there will be for him on the open market and I don't really see anything above $11M.
