This was an insanely prescient post on Johnny's contract in 2016. Blows my mind how accurate Gaudreauvertime was

Point is, we did lose certainty here. In 6 years, we can attempt to outbid the market and hope he doesn't want to go back east. But there's a likelihood that in 6 years he'll be asking 10.5M+, and even if we match that it might not be enough.
