Their stats are similar...Rantanen has played with far better players
Its kinda irrelevant too, Rantanen took that deal to stay in powerhouse Colorado. Why should Gaudreau take less to stay in Calgary? And its not like the Flames can just take that money and pick up a Rantanen type on the open market
It boggles the mind a Flames fan would want to see the Calgary Flames without Gaudreau because of 1M or so in salary.
Get rid of the Lucic's and the Gudbransons if you are worried about salary
Keep the guy who generates all the O
Lose Gaudreau to save a few bucks...then what? draft a player you hope becomes a Gaudreau and then cheap out on him in 7 years?
