Unless he absolutely falls a off a cliff, sure Johnny wouldn't get 10.5M as a 36-year old, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 6M. So after taxes, he lost out on 2 or 3 million in take home pay? Not great, but not disastrous either. Gaudreau did take an L, mostly because he didn't land in Philly and how his legacy in Calgary is now dead.
I don't see how the CAD/USD exchange rate affects things. Cost of living is cost of living. It's a regional thing, not so much currency worth. USD is worth more, but CAD prices on goods are also higher accordingly.
