And I doubt any of Gaudreau’s teammates are surprised or angry that he chose to play in the U.S. Again, they’re professionals.

Yeah no kidding, but you'd think a guy who was drafted by the Flames, spent 11 years in the org, was a huge part of them going from a draft lottery team to a 111 point team and was on pace to potentially be a Flames all team leader in points would care a little more than that.
This wasn't Lance Bouma or Adam Pardy we were talking about here.
