The reason the Flames lost Gaudreau for nothing was because he stayed here longer than he had to. Chucky ran off the first chance he had any ability to control his situation. Gaudreau did not.

He only stayed 1 year into UFA to raise the amount on the contract. The Flames offered him 8x8 at that time. My guess is Johnny wanted a 4 year taking him to RFA or 5 year to UFA. Flames likely offered less $ for those options.
