I don't know what Lewis Gross was telling him through this but either Johnny really doesn't take counsel/advice or Gross is an abysmal agent.
What I don't get is why does NHL free agency have to happen on the first day? Is it really a case of musical chairs? If in fact Gaudreau was caught off guard, could he not sit there today and weigh his options, see which teams are really out there? I mean is Columbus really different than say
Detroit? (making this up)

NBA free agency was a week ago, there are still good players out there negotiating.
