If you look at the last 4 seasons (two good years: 18/19, 21/22; two okay years: 19/20, 20/21) he averages 90 points per 82 games.
He's likely worth closer to $9-$10M but you need to pay the UFA premium to keep him.
But I think it's pretty easy to say that the contract might not look that great as soon as 3-4 seasons from now.

Why, exactly is it easy to say a 10M Gaudreau contact would look bad as soon as 3 years from now?
I don't think the vast majority of people would think that.
