This will be the other move that Gross can leverage this next week.
Leak that they are leaning towards testing the market. Gaudreau want's to be closer to home. Philly and New Jersey lining up huge offers.
It could be true. It could also be a tactic to get the Flames to bump up the offer.
Anything you hear from the media, and anything that comes out of Gaudreau's camp is a negotiation tactic at this point.
Until they say to Treliving - "We aren't re-signing and are testing the market" it's all just a ploy to get more $$$.
Really there is nothing Treliving's camp will leak to media - there is no point all this point - it's clear he want's to keep Johnny and Tkachuk.
Anything that we hear from the media will be because Gaudreau's and Tkachuk's camp want the Flames org to hear it and media to talk about it.
Remember how Landeskog was gone last season, and that he had offers of $10M on the table already...then he signs in Colorado last minute for much less than that. It's all negotiating tactics.
