That's my take too.
Devils likely have the best offer on the table right now. But Gaudreau is holding out hope that Philly can make the space for him because that's his preferred destination.
Money clearly isn't the determining factor here either...he likely gave up about $12-14M in guaranteed salary by not taking the Flames $10.5M x 8 offer yesterday.
Calgary should be on the phone with Philly to be honest. I'd be okay with taking Konecny or Provorov off their hands for free.
