My sense is that Gaudreau’s feelings on re-signing in Calgary have not changed. And that, yes, we can take his comments at face value. However, at this point, it is my understanding that there have been no serious negotiations between the Flames and Gaudreau’s camp.
I don’t think it’s anything to panic about (yet) for fans who want to see him back. The lack of talks is likely due to how many moving pieces there are in Calgary this offseason — with potential trades — and the fact that Seattle expansion still must take place.

A bit surprising. I would have thought this would be priority #1 between the end of the season and free agency.

6. Calgary has begun extension discussion with Johnny Gaudreau. This is purely my guess, but Flames probably have to jump over Matthew Tkachuk’s $7 million per season. He’s at $6.75 million now
