And Johnny has the Flames by the balls. Give me what I want of I walk away for NOTHING in free agency. And yes, he has that control. He has the five team list he can use to make himself untradeable. Treliving has painted himself into the corner and Gaudreau's camp knows it. Previous contracts may be used as a comparison, but Kaprizov's is a reset of the market. Treliving should have pushed to get this done before the NTC kicked in, or traded him before it kicked in. Gaudreau's camp has all the control in this negotiation now.
