I think someone should make a note to see if Gross is still Johnny's agent in a few weeks' time.
Or...and I hate doing this, but it is possible that Johnny and Gross had a plan, had an ask, it was met and then his Wife/GF vetoed it.
It is possible that they made an ask, got an acceptance and then a variable was introduced that could not be accommodated.
Its possible. You take the Calgary contract and your wife is pissed? Ugh...granted, again, I'd go back and say: "You should have talked about this together and sorted it out ages ago."

Whether it was the wife, the family, or whatever, this is the likely scenario IMO. He and Gross gave the ultimatum. The Flames accepted. Some time went by, Gaudreau walked away from the deal.
The most likely scenario as to why it changed in that time, seems pretty clear.
