My only point of curiosity is what the nhlpa/agents guild will think of it IF he takes a big apparent discount to make this move.

Not a huge deal anymore. Back when you had stars players having to have second jobs while the owners were making bank it was obviously important to have a unified front with the likes of Lindsay and friends.
Now though with 50% revenue split, the less Gaudreau signs for the more for everyone else. Only the top tier players who want to use his contract as a negotiation tactic (and therefore take money off lower level players) will care.
