This is such nonsense, who told you this? Why would you believe it?
By their own admissions Gaudreau's have stayed out of Johnny's negotiations, they did during his ELC (when the Flames rolled out the red carpet and private jet) and during this free agent period this summer when they were all surprised he ended up leaving the Flames and eventually signing with the Blue Jackets.
There is just so much dumb #### in your post. That's not how NHL negotiations go, you don't get a hotel room and invite the entire family in. Use your brain dude.
"general abuse" lol
