Gaudreau settled for someplace he and his family were okay being, and for a lot of money. What did Calgary get out of this? The loss of their best player. It's clear who won. Please explain how Calgary came out of this positively in any shape or form.

Johnny also handled this in a way that tarnished his legacy in Calgary which is almost certainly something he didn’t want despite your claims he got everything he wanted.
