And yes it was because there were rumblings of an offer sheet.

Gaudreau was a solid deal. He seemed kind of disappointed about it in an interview with Ryan Whitney. I think if he had any kind of negotiating rights at the time he would be substantially better paid right now.
Mackinnon was coming off a 52 point season when he signed. Barkov had a 36 point rookie season, followed by 30 points in 38 games when he signed. Scheifele was coming off a 60 point season.
Draisaitl scored 77. He was going to get more. Guess they should have signed him to 6x6 after his 50 point sophomore season.
