I think Gaudreau will be in Calgary as long as the team is doing well. I think that at some point Johnny will want to fulfill his childhood fantasy and finish his career out East. Hopefully, this comes once he's had his fill of rings here - but at some point he'll close his chapter in Calgary and finish the fantasy he's damn well earned.
I doubt he'll sign a sweetheart deal next time around though, that's for sure. He's going to finish what he started here, but it's not going to come cheap.

I think it's 50-50 at best. I don't think he's unhappy here. I also don't think he's going to Philly just because of sentiment. I think it's going to be dollars and cents next time. He was clearly looking for a pretty bog payday last negotiation, and probably now feels like he missed out on the big RFA paydays.
