I would actually bet this coming year will be down for him, whether it were in Calgary or elsewhere.
Huge contract means adjusting to massive expectations, and he shoulders a lot of pressure. Add-in the world-turning-upside-down event of a new baby... I think he's going to have a rough year coming up.
Flames were not going to win a cup with a $6mil Gaudreau, they definitely weren't going to win with an $11M Gaudreau.
Hopefully they make the correct decision and rebuild, but being the Flames I look forward to many 12-13 overall draft picks in the coming decade.
