“If Tree and the owners are happy with the way I’ve played here in the past six to seven years and it’s something we can figure out," Gaudreau said at the Flames' end-of-season player avails. "I would love to do that. I love the city of Calgary. I love playing here. I don’t think I’ve ever once said I haven’t wanted to be here.”
sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/johnny-gaudreau-love-re-sign-calgary-flames/

again, all players pretty much always say this going into their last contract...so you do have to take it with a grain of salt...

its a bit of a rorschach test, how someone interprets that quote
