For fun every post from here on out should put the opinion of probability Gaudreau re-signs in Calgary.
I’m going to say about 5%. I also agree with Bingo that re-signing him to anything monster would likely be a huuuuge mistake. As great as Sutter has been for him, a) it’s a contract year and everybody plays better in contract years and B) Sutter won’t be around for another 8 years. I think Calgary won’t ante up and Gaudreau will obviously not want to leave $5-10MM on the table that he otherwise could probably get as a UFA. So this one’s probably done, and this is our chance this year to win a cup with Gaudreau. I also think it’s possible, this year, with Darryl at the helm to win it all. Possible, not probable.
