It's gonna take 30-40 games before we see what this team is capable of. Huby is coming off one of the best seasons for a LW in the history of the game, that he put up with 2 vastly inferior linemates, and he's just starting to get going.
Gaudreau wasn't worth NEAR 10 mil/yr in the summer of 2021, and I don't think he's really worth that now. Tre would've been run out of town if he had offered him that contract at that time.

Who said Gaudreau was even looking for $10M at the time? Even he and his agent knew they were coming off down seasons. I'm sure the $8.5M or $9M that's floating out there is closer to the actual number.
