That’s fair, but if Gaudreau was willing to do a contract last summer and the Flames weren’t willing to go to the dollars/term, that’s a failure of management not understanding why Johnny had down years or what his potential upside might be with a full season of Sutter coaching. Obviously a lot of us didn’t see this season coming, and a long term contract might have been panned by the fan base at the time, but it’s looking like BT gambled and lost.
