I remember not being a fan of the Gaudreau deal because Treliving didn’t secure the 8 years. Had it been for $8M or $8.5M that would have been worth it at the time and great value (we would still have him for another year).

Tree loved that 6 year term. Gaudreau, Hamilton, Lindholm, Hanifin, Andersson. (Also UFA’s Backlund, Giordano, Coleman)

Monahan was the longest term deal until the 8 year deals for Huberdeau and Weegar were signed.

I definitely think they should have tried to max out the term for a few of our young guys and while it is a risk for Ottawa I do think it will pay off for them
