He lost the negotiation.
He can make it up depending on what he’d with Johnny’s money but that’s his only redemption

I have been a vocal questioner of treliving, even at the best of times, but treliving squeezed the negotiations in the last rfa deal, got a tremendous value aav in my opinion. The only issue is that treliving failed to bring in a coach for much of the term of the deal, and perhaps not adding enough skill to the group, leaving the results over the term of the deal pretty lack lustre.
I firmly believe that the decision to stay or go is completely on Gaudreau. The desired Money/term is likely on the table, all the leverage is with the player. Hope he signs, but he's also earned the right to make this decision.
Can't really blame treliving if the flames lose gaudreau. I also have more sympathy for treliving. I'm sure the "5 year plan" he set out with didn't include the top 2 highest drafted centers by the franchise to basically become non-factors for the team's trajectory (monahan and Bennett).
