I think the people worrying he won't sign with the Flames underestimate the draw of the Flames to a guy like Gaudreau. He has an opportunity to be a key cog of a team that's into a full rebuild. He'll be getting a great opportunity to jump into the NHL right away, and will most likely get the full support of the coaching staff and management. If he signed with the Bruins, there is a far bigger chance he plays in Providence than he would in Boston.
