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

All OJ talk but there was apparently a reasonable offer from Gaudreau's side in the summer in the 8-9 range which I don't think is wild for his production up to that point. If true and Tre was sticking with Gaudreau as a core piece then I think he got cute.
