Calle Jarnkrok deal. I like it for the Wild, Gaudreau has been a really great player and provides this cap strapped team with some cost controlled depth for many years. Even if Gaudreau does sour, the cap hit is so miniscule that it really doesn't matter. Way to go Guerin
The only comparable I can come up with is Nic Paul (similar PPG) who signed 7x$3M at 27 y.o. on another team with cap problems. Too long, but very capfriendly AAV.
UFA market would had been more profitable for him, but he's obviously comited to this team. He will also be able to have top 6 opportunities which would be more difficult on another team with more depth.
