Guarantee you how this off season goes if Gaudreau is gone - We sign everyone else (Tkachuk, Mangianpane, Kylington etc) and local media bootlicks suggesting we got everyone but Gaudreau back under the cap. And we're a middling, nothing hockey team.
I take the gamble if Gaudreau is willing to sign here because this organization will not rebuild without being dragged into it killing and screaming. Losing Gaudreau does not trigger a rebuild with this organization, full stop. So therefore I don't want to lose Guadreau.

Yeah without a doubt. I suspect the Flames without Gaudreau reverts back to the 2021 Flames prior to the formation of the current the top line. Team couldn't win more than 3 in a row, win one, lose one, boring games, miss the playoffs but draft 11th overall. No way would anyone sign up to watch that trash.
