The fact that you acknowledge that he may have waited due to him wanting more money is telling. It indicates that he and Trev were likely quite a bit apart on what the value of his contract would be. That would seem to indicate more than a 1% chance (at best) of leaving.

It doesn't indicate that all. Most players wait until just before FA to re-sign, it's a bargaining play. Stamkos did it, Landeskog did it, it would be dumb to sign any sooner even if you want to stay. I expect Gaudreau will sign in the week before FA, possibly the day before. He will get 8 years and a NMC to control his own future. I know you want it go South and enjoy watching Flames fans world burn but it isn't happening with this. Go enjoy the fact we lost the series to Edmonton, lots of drama and misery in that thread for you.
