At this point, I think it's an unrequited love on Gaudreau's paart.

Any number of reasons, but when the change is made in Philly in a few years the new GM and or coach, post current regime, will tell the owners what they need to say to get hired... and that is "do the opposite" of Fletcher and Torts. Thus, will pitch that they need more proven skill players and players who want to be Flyers, and JG will be at the top of the list in both categories even if he has average years in CBJ.
It's the same strategy our previous fraud of a GM attempted, both in undermining Sutter at executive and ownership level when he was AGM, and then trying to pass off his random and shot in the dark strategy to build a team, by telling fans and media he will just basically do the opposite of Sutter; get small skilled guys, turn the music on in the dressing room etc etc...and people lapped it up because it was the opposite from Darryl and opposite must mean opposite results than what the Flames had.
