I think many have correctly pointed out, there was a fear we’d repeat Gaudreau. He’d have a great season, decide he wouldn’t resign mid season, and then walk into free agency at season’s end and we’d lose him for nothing.
I’d like to see the team treat him like the one company treated George Costanza when he tricked them into his employment. Move his stall down to the basement, make him crawl through the vents just to access it, basically try to make him so miserable he wants to quit even showing up and breaches his contract.
