Hope I'm wrong, but just bad memories over end of contracts with past flames star players is really unsettling.

Well to be fair, it's worse than "more trouble than we think" if Gaudreau tests free agency. He gets 8 years from the Flames before free agency, so if Johnny makes it to UFA he's as good as gone.
There's like a 1% chance he has an 8 year offer from us on the table, goes to see what 7 year offers are available around the league and then comes back and takes a 7 year deal from the Flames.
