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’.”

While I don't have an opinion on this either way, what Frank says here is clearly presented as an opinion and therefore not a fact. We aren't privy to what happened in that car ride. It could've been Johnny with the change of heart regardless of what his wife wanted.
