That had to be huge from a Gaudreau perspective in being willing to sign, that and he could be super confident he'd be starting in Calgary. Not sure the Flames would be as willing on the contract front with Janko, and we are much deeper at centre with Monny and Bennett that I could understand how Janko might be more motivated to explore options.
Sounds like it's not likely, but I'd had to have that first rounder disappear after all the effort we've but in.

I would think the Flames would be more than willing to get him here in April and burn a year.
Unfortunately, the Friars are probably going to play longer than the Flames and the Heat.
