Flames are supposed to have him for 7 years -- he says nah brah, you get me for 6, with some trading power. People here are congratulating him for how honest he is, when really he is screwing the team hard.
Gaudreau gave up two years of UFA status and signed a very team friendly deal. People continue to #### on him.

I think Tkachuk would play here for one more year if that is what the Flames wanted to do.
