This is a legitimate question that needs to be floated out there. Should this drag out and a contract not be signed immediately after the World Shinny Exhibition series, who do you see as a temporary replacement up front until Johnny Hockey is signed? Who could be brought in to possibly put a little bit of pressure on Johnny’s agent to strike a good deal?

Do the Flames invite Alex Tanguay to camp on a PTO, or do they go so far as to sign him to a contract? Tanguay is a very similar player to Gaudreau in style of play (pass first and not recognized as a defensive stalwart) and could fit in the missing gap until the Gaudreau negotiations come to some type of close. I could see them doing worse looking for a cheap replacement.

Suggestions?
