His indecision really killed the Flames, but I do think he was considering staying in Calgary.
As for last summer who knows? He didn't have the best campaign, so I think he would have accepted something like 8x8 or 8x9 from the Flames. I can also see why Treliving might have been hesitant to do that though.
I've got no ill will for Gaudreau. It just sucks that his decision has a domino effect that forces the Flames into a rebuild when they had a decent core.
