If NHL teams are footing the bill for family visits, this would be the first I’ve heard of it.

I could see teams covering the cost of mothers and fathers trips but beyond that, the players and their families should be on their own. These people aren’t foreign dignitaries.
It has nothing to do with obligation and since we don't know the facts at all, I have a hard time getting worked up over who should have paid for what.

I find it very unlikely that if the Flames felt they should cover the cost of a Gaudreau family member's accommodation that they would have recommended Super 8.
