That's the rumour.
The fact is, we don't know if this rumour is accurate, we don't know what the Flames' last offer was, we don't know how high they would have gone if Gaudreau hadn't simply broken off the negotiations, we don't know what Gaudreau is eventually going to sign for, and we certainly don't know that he is going to take the highest dollar offer no matter where it comes from.
We do know that Panarin is a poor comparable for any contract being signed now, because the circumstances have changed for the whole league.
