It is interesting that you started with this...

...and then landed on this as the most interesting option in NE US for Gaudreau to sign:

I still think a spot like NJ would have an intriguing pitch to Johnny as they have 2 former 1st overalls as their 1-2 C and both are having breakout seasons in addition to other high picks in the pipeline.

How many playoff rounds and division titles has NJ won in the 7-8 years Gaudreau has played?
This is the point I was making. It's not that it is a foregone conclusion that the Flames will re-sign Gaudreau, or that they will get him on a discount. The point is that they are starting with a huge advantage over other teams who will be pitching for his services. Again, if this team wins a playoff round or two it will be very difficult for him to walk away from his situation here.
