which makes sense. Everybody knew the Flames offered 8x10.5m to Gaudreau, so Huby's camp was in a strong position there: similar age, same position, same production last season. Plus the threat of going UFA next season ... realistically, there was no way Tre could negotiate that down. It was probably a fairly easy negotiation for Walsh. I guess at the end of the day, it made way too much sense for both parties to just take the deal they wanted to give to Gaudreau.
