That's just odd thinking. You think the Flyers and Devils are going to work together on this? They are going to be working against each other trying to get a leg up. Gross and Gaudreau now have a ballpark number based on what the Flames had in store and they will work those teams until they get it. I'm sure Gross and Johnny realise he may make less money without the 8th year but don't expect Gross will carry on with teams that way as they will be posturing with those teams just as they did the Flames.
