My daughter just turned 6 yesterday and I recall when she was born was during the holdout Gaudreau had prior to signing his 6 year deal. When the deal was eventually signed I remember being pissed the Flames didn’t push hard to go the full 8 as I thought Johnny would leave for sure after his contract expired. My buddy tried to tell me 6 years was such a long time and my new born kid would be in grade 1 by the time the deal was done.
It was pretty crazy how fast those 6 years flew by. I also recall Brian Elliott being at the hospital with his wife giving birth at the same time I was there. He was awful to start the season that is for sure. Johnny was pretty terrible in year 1 of that deal and I have a feeling he will struggle this year as well. Congrats to the Gaudreau’s for their new addition to the family. Go Flames go
