I think he will play for the Flames though. He would be foolish not to considering the opportunity he will be given.

The flames have the advantage of throwing the ELC at him this year with signing bonuses this year. Gaudreau could go back to college and be a UFA or he could get his 90k signing bonus in April, play some games to get game cheques and burn off one year of the ELC to become a UFA sooner, and then get another 90k signing bonus in July.
180K+ for 4 months works is pretty decent incentive. Plus he knows he will be given the opportunity to play at the NHL level.
