There is nothing remotely inteligent about her perspective. It be one thing if somone just overheard a dinner conversation at the Gaudreau household where a loving and emotional mother made a plea for her son to finish their schooling or stay closer to home and not grow up so quickly, but she was giving an interview.........have to think she had the time to think about her stance more logically, and if so, what she's saying doesn't make sense.

Her logic is the money will be there next year too, and it likely will.
Based on his last three years of hockey Gaudreau likely gets the rookie max whether he leaves now, or joins the NHL next year.
In terms of it being an interview, she was asked a question and shared how she felt. It is not like she is trained by a PR team on how to respond to questions like the players are.
Is what his mom is saying right? Maybe, maybe not. Is it a stance that I could see many parents having, especially with another son on the team? Yup.
I just don't think we need to start jumping to conclusions and reading between the lines that this is some conspiracy by Gaudreau's mom to cover up her sons feelings and take the bullet for him wanting to stay another year.
