I think it pretty obvious in hindsight it would have been better to give him 7 x $7.5/yr. Do you really disagree with that exact statement?

Yes, I really disagree with it.
People here aren't willing to pay Gaudreau one thin dime. Some of them think the Flames' owners should be willing to do it, but it's not their money and not their call. I will be utterly gobsmacked if he or any player gets that kind of cheese on a new contract next summer.
