Going to be a long 4-5 months reading ‘Treliving should be fired immediately if Gaudreau walks’. I would imagine this gets posted at least ten times a day from here on out.

When there is uncertainty in any situation people will sometimes overact and come up with the worst-case serranos. It is hard when you don't know "an" outcome of a situation; Even (..as I recall), Johnny said his first negotiation was really hard having to wait so long to get it negotiated. Even he had a hard time waiting for it to get done. A topic was put up about Gaudreau's potential signing after last season, but fans had all summer to post on the discussion board but nothing happened so you can see how that creates more, debates, "many unreasonable" and doubts. Especially for the fans who started the season feeling excited seeing how well Johnny, MT the team was playing.
Brad doesn't always say much about negotiations but will comment on other aspects of the team. One thing that is different with Brad's approach from maybe Darryl is Darryl sometimes gives you an answer; Like his comments about the call ups needing to be stronger and more developed. My first thought was Maybe this is something that would have helped Sam Bennett. They could have used him in all situations on the farm and then brought him up when he was physically ready. My point though is Darryl's response about call-ups made sense to the media and to the fans so they were not making assumptions about things and feeling left in the dark.
If Johnny wants to stay and has said as much, isn't that is exactly the kind of thing you would tell the media? If Flames come out and said, "we want him here and we are continuing to negotiate", wouldn't this help reduce a lot of unwanted uncertainty?
