Johnny took a risk playing out this season without a contract going forward. if it was essentially a "done deal" as you allude to, Johnny would have already signed and taken that risk away. There is no logical reason for him waiting to sign, unless he wanted to use the UFA leverage in getting the most money possible.
He may sign with Calgary, but there is certainly a chance he signs elsewhere. He won't come cheap, if he comes at all.

There was every reason to wait. Total points, focus on the season, possible awards, added pressure with free agency approaching to get more money, many reasons. The fact he wants to stay, that he bought a home here last off season, that his wife moved up here and works here now, and the fact that BT had to know letting Gaudreau walk for nothing is his pink slip means the odds of Gaudreau leaving are about 1% at best.i get that some posters on this board want to see him walk because they feed off the boards misery and drama but this one is going to disappoint.
