Hold the line on Gaudreau but overpay Neal, Brouwer, etc...

Except he'd just come off of two .7 ppg seasons. Evidence was that he was arguably the one heading into a decline.
This was post Neal and Brouwer (and Neal was signed for $5M which seemed fair for a perennial 20 man). Brouwer was overpaid, but he was also bought out to make room for higher salaried guys.
