Keeping Johnny to go for it is fine. That was the right thing to do.
Brad allowed himself to be misled. Set a deadline at the exit interview.
Make your best offer, whatever it is.
If Gaudreau hasn’t signed by whatever deadline you’ve set, he isn’t signing.
We’re not Tampa, we’re not Colorado. We’re a small market Canadian team.
Gaudreau knew when he said “it’d be cool to play in Philly one day at the end of my career” that he wasn’t coming back.
Francis knew. For years, Eric Francis has had a better read on the Calgary Flames’ franchise player than the GM.
And yet the muppet keeps his job.
