Overpaying for him wouldn’t be good.

I’m not sure 9.5 is the number but this is a sensible post. Losing gaudreau will absolutely suck. But if he number is too high or he doesn’t want to be here what we’re you supposed to do? Trade him before a all time great franchise season where he was a key component to getting the flames to the second round for only the third time since 1989?
