You are wrong. First, different time periods in a players career, different circumstances. Second, Gaudreau is not all about money, if it was he would not have agreed to the last contract. Third, it will be the Flames, that part is not in doubt, the term and money is what we don't know. Does Gaudreau have the leverage to get top dollar? You bet but the guy also wants to win and he understands he needs to leave dollars on the table for others and he will, I have no doubt. Given the player has bought a home this year in Calgary, his wife has moved to that home, and the player clearly enjoys the team, the coach, and the city, there is no scenario where I see the Calgary Flames letting their franchise forward go to free agency. Is it possible? Sure, like it is possible I will win the lottery on Friday. Possible but not really.
