Or Calgary for an Edmonton-born player, like Jarome Iginla? Weird things happen sometimes.
But yeah, I'm leaning towards the idea that Gaudreau had his heart set on Philly and was left begging for offers when Philly couldn't do it.
Also that he and his agent panicked and signed way too soon. The people who were saying yesterday that this was all a brilliant scheme to gain leverage… well, they were definitely not right.
