I'm sure it's been explained in one of the Gaudreau dedicated or related threads, but maybe someone can explain what contract options are available to the Flames-Gaudreau and the impact of him playing this season for the Flames if he signs. How many years is his ELC for (3 like usual)? If he signs a contract this year and plays for the Flames that takes up a year of his contract, correct (even if it's just a single game)? Is there a way that he could sign a contract effective next season and play this year?
