True, but would the Flyers be ok committing nearly 75% of their cap dollars towards just forwards? I don't know what their GMs plans are, but I feel more optimistic today than I did in the past about Johnny staying put and not racing off to Philly as soon as his contract was over.
Johnny said in the summer that he never said he wanted to leave; that was a complete fabrication by a hack of a writer and even Gaudreau's agent said much the same.
