How much would you have offered Gaudreau after a season of 49 points in 56 games on a non-playoff team?
From what I recall, the Flames made Gaudreau an offer and he turned it down, because he would rather bet on himself to have a rebound year. That bet paid off gloriously. Even so, he left money on the table to go to a U.S. team instead of playing in Calgary.
