I sure hope the Flames don't bungle the Gaudreau asset the way they bungled so many other assets over the years.
They need to either get him extended as soon as it's possible to a fair extension (not some bloated cap killer contract) or deal him for a decent return before he walks in free agency for sweet #### all.
I wonder if a package around Konecny is more possible this year, than maybe it was in the past. Konecny isn't having as strong of a season, plus Farabee is having a nice little coming out party. Maybe Frost is more expendable as well with Patrick finally healthy.
I've always thought Gaudreau, Bennett for Konecny, Frost would be a nice return to retool the core if it doesn't look like Johnny can get extended at a fair price.
