I think Gaudreau will be in Calgary as long as the team is doing well. I think that at some point Johnny will want to fulfill his childhood fantasy and finish his career out East. Hopefully, this comes once he's had his fill of rings here - but at some point he'll close his chapter in Calgary and finish the fantasy he's damn well earned.

I doubt he'll sign a sweetheart deal next time around though, that's for sure. He's going to finish what he started here, but it's not going to come cheap.
I don't know about another contract with the Flames. He'll be 29 to start his next one and can't see him signing for anything less than the 8 year mega contract he's going to want. That puts him to 37 years old. So if he wants to go east I'd guess its for his next, and possibly final, payday.
