You don't know what was offered last year (it had to be last year prior to the powerful NTC kicking in). I suspect it was a decent offer - but based on Gaudreau's last 3 seasons. And Gaudreau rejected it to see what he could do to improve his numbers this year. What should Treliving had done - imagine a 110 point season in his head? He can't force Johnny to sign a contract. He could have traded him I suppose, but how much would he have gotten after two sub PPG seasons? You'd have called for his head if he did that.
As for this year, I can virtually guarantee they've made the highest total dollar offer to Gaudreau to stay here now.
