I think there is actually a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that there was a "line in the sand," and that by the time Gaudreau's NTC kicked in both signs were really confident about re-signing him. We have been hearing a lot recently about how much the Flames have been involved all summer in trying to get a deal done to acquire Jack Eichel, and there is little doubt that this played a huge role in the extension negotiations with Gaudreau. For all we know, this is still an key component to making a final decision on the term and value of a new contract for Gaudreau.
