They’ll pay market value for 2nd and 3rd line forwards, but not elite talent?
Yikes. Flames better up that offer, or it’s rebuild time because the team without Johnny (+ the others that want out of Johnny leaves) is nowhere near Championship quality.

It's negotiating. I don't think Gaudreau has any intention of leaving but it is his agents job to put the pressure on to get the most money possible.
Flames initial offer is 9.5 x 8
Gross counters with 11.5 x 8
Flames come back at 10 x 8
Now Grosse will come back at 11x8
Then they will negotiate back and forth until they settle on 10.5x 8. dissentowner ends up right, Johnny stays, we all rejoice! Make it so.
