Yeah, yeah, anonymous source, whatever, hang your hat on that if you want but it's clear johnny wants to play east coast. It's been clear basically from the moment he was drafted by the Flames. And the thing about the east coast is even if philly can't clear cap space there's still like 7 other teams all within a day's drive from his family that could/will. The odds of not one of those teams making a competitive offer to the Flames...is low. All this shuffling will force a rebuild which is what this team needs anyway, and 3-4 years from now we'll have a new exciting young cheap controlled core to cheer for, with a new 8 year window (in which the Flames will hopefully win more than two playoff series) while JG looks worse and worse.

Doesn't scare me at all, that is exactly why media outlets write this crap, to sucker in people. There is nothing to worry about, the deal will get done in Calgary. Eric Francis must be laughing his ass off at all the people that bought his whole made up Johnny wants to go home tripe. I can see why other media runs with it, it gets hits but there is a reason Francis bailed on saying it and swung the other way. He knows damn well he made it up and he knows damn well Gaudreau sincerely wants to stay here.
