It's been confirmed ding dong, back to your hole troll. I also had confirmation from another source who just might be a family member that we sometimes see post on social media. There is zero doubt his wife and her family pressured him into moving back East. There is a reason why BT looked shell shocked when he announced he wasn't coming back, he had told him that day and his agent he was coming back. Do you truly believe if his new wife who was expecting and the new most important thing in his life wanted him to sign in Calgary he would say no? Use your head.

Yeah, weird that the publicly released info has been forgotten lol
“I don’t even think it was Johnny. I don’t think Johnny had any issue coming back. I think he wanted to come back,” Seravalli said. “In fact, not to relitigate this again, but the Flames the day before thought that he was coming back. There was an afternoon sort of buzz and spring in everyone’s step as the hours dragged on before free agency where they thought they were getting him back. They had negotiated the contract, gotten to where everyone was comfortable with numbers, and then Johnny Gaudreau went on a car ride with his wife and then called the Flames back tearfully and said, ‘sorry, I can’t do this’.”
