The excuses being made by both parents against him coming here is not a good sign. Maybe he will be a Bruin after all?

And what about what Johnny wants? Does he want to try and beat out Lucic, Iginla (possibly), Eriksson, Marchand, Smith etc.. for a wing spot? Does Boston's system prefer small players?
No NHL team prefers small players to large players. But if your small player is Patrick Kane, you work around him. The same will go for JG. I imagine when Burke goes to have final contract talks with Gaudreau he will emphasize that JG will have the same opportunity as anyone else to make the Flames.
