Think someone else already spoke about how both Steinberg and Francis made interesting comments about how the story isn't over and they heard some absolutely wild things over the last 72 hours.
Speculating on what they said, very much sounds like they had a verbal agreeance on a deal with the Flames and they were minutes away from announcing it.
If true in the appropriate context, that's absolutely wild. |
Well worth the listen, thanks for linking to this.
Steinberg and Francis both flat out say they know for a fact the Flames believed they had a deal in place with Gaudreau, which coincides the reports we've heard that the Flames agreed to Gross and Gaudreau's contract demands only for them to break the verbal agreement.
Steinberg says he heard the contract was imminent, minutes away from being official. If nothing else, Johnny (and his family) got cold feet at the last minute and went back on his word. Sounds incredibly unprofessional.
