Didn't hear it myself, but I'm sure they'll have it up on the Fan shortly.
If Gaudreau is wanting to wait...then I think you need to trade him. You can't let that NTC kick in and give the player further leverage. |
Yeah i heard it...thats what he said, but im 100% positive that Friedman thinks the NTC is a 5 team that JG CANT be traded to instead of one he can be dealt too. Even after it was said by Steinburg as to what it was...it didnt seem to click in because he stated that "it really doesnt change things that much".
How does going from 31 potential buyers to 5 not change the dynamics in something like this??
All of this was because EF believes the Flames want to keep him and JG wants to possibly stay (depending on $$ and term of course) but also wants the market established by the other UFA guys.
If he isnt signed (or agreed to a deal) by the 25th...he has to be jettisoned before that clause kicks in or BT is just screwing the teams abilities to maximize returns.
Should never have ever even gotten to this point IMO.
