And so I think with that as your top line expense it will cost you when he produces in the 85-90 point mark for the next 4-5 years. So if you do want to go to rebuild and want to hand off that contract, it’ll be tough to not pay to get rid of it when he’s a ppg player.
But as the cap increases, then so does the value of players. Within three years a PPG player will probably be worth $11.0 m. A contract like Gaudreau's extension is going to have a chain reaction, driving the prices of pending UFAs like MacKinnon through the roof.
