I don't ever recall seeing someone who has that big a differential between home and away.
Half the games are on the road.... Home 10M and away 2M ? comes to 6M/year...
a bridge deal 3.5 x2 he still is a RFA and then 10x 6 = 67M
8x8 =64 M .... a bridge deal costs 3M over 8 years if Gaudreau is able to play through the defensive schemes that he will see at home the next 2 years. Right now every team in the West will be going over the flames road games film to see what they can do to create a road situation for Gaudreau at home.

That split is pretty remarkable, but I note that the year before was a much more even 35-29 home-road split. Too small a sample size to suggest that teams have somehow "figured out" Johnny.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
