Its the second time this has been brought up and it makes zero sense from the Flames or Gaudreau's perspective. Gaudreau could suffer a career ending injury during the season and lose the entire next contract that he's already agreed to.

And from the Flameds perspective, they have a superstar player locked into an "agreed upon contract" that isn't signed? Can anyone explain how this makes any sense at all?

With the lawyers and agents involved, I literally cannot see a single reason for either side to be like "Okay, we agree on the contract, see you guys in the spring to sign it". I literally don't get this angle and how it's being brought up as a thing.

Nope because it is merely fantasy by fans to try and feel better about the reality of a situation that doesn't look like it is on par with their wishes.
