I'd need some evidence of "cute".

Gaudreau wanting to sign a big extension coming off a pretty poor season was likely asking for more than the team wanted to pay. That's his job to hold the line.

With hindsight and the explosion season it was likely a bargain, but I don't remember a lot of 100+ point predictions on this site before the puck dropped in the fall of 2021
