Steve Sullivan. Jeff Skinner. I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

How is Steve Sullivan an example? He consistently put up good numbers. Never elite, but he never really had a big drop off or anything. Also his career high in points came in his 6th or 7th season.

Even skinner has somewhat battled back from his concussion issues. He had 28 goals last year

I think Gaudreau's contract poses more difficulty given how unique a player he is (super skilled but also risk due to size).
Theoren Fleury never played fewer than 79 games for Calgary as a full time NHL player, in an era when you could do a lot worse to players with impunity.

Really don't understand why Gaudreau's size is even discussed anymore. I would guess he takes less contact than 95% of the league. On top of that, Datsyuk is retired. The only guy I can remember specifically tattooing Johnny is back in Russia.

He could take a certain hit the wrong way and never be the same. Like Lindros.

If you want to discuss something that make the Flames nervous is Gaudreau's road record from last year.

39 games 7 goals 22 pts -17 even strength 5 goals 10 pts.

I don't ever recall seeing someone who has that big a differential between home and away.

Half the games are on the road.... Home 10M and away 2M ? comes to 6M/year...


a bridge deal 3.5 x2 he still is a RFA and then 10x 6 = 67M

8x8 =64 M .... a bridge deal costs 3M over 8 years if Gaudreau is able to play through the defensive schemes that he will see at home the next 2 years. Right now every team in the West will be going over the flames road games film to see what they can do to create a road situation for Gaudreau at home.

Hopefully Friedman has his names mixed up and he is talking about another American RFA.

Warrener is saying on the fan right now that Johnny is worth close to $10M/year.

I said many many months ago that Gaudreau was worth, and going to get, $8.5 million. I was laughed out of the thread. Rightfully? We'll see.

Molberg is terrible and Warrener is basically just his parrot. I wouldn't put a lot of value into the opinion of a local part-time AM radio host.

Why? He has to be a bit dramatic of course because that's his schtick, but he's got some good points, and he knows how agents and GMs operate. Johnny won't get $10M obviously, being an RFA, etc. But he has a case for that on the open market. Guy will be top ten in the league, maybe top five, for the next decade, in an era that is the most difficult in league history to score.

EDIT: wow you guys are tough. I like Boomer and Warrener.

That conversation on 960 this morning was brutal.

One guy (Molberg maybe?) was arguing that Gaudreau is worth at least $8M IF THE CONTRACT IS ONLY FOR RFA YEARS. If they sign him for UFA years, it will need to be $10M.

They were absolutely out to lunch.

Really quite amazing at how uninformed they were about the topic.

That split is pretty remarkable, but I note that the year before was a much more even 35-29 home-road split. Too small a sample size to suggest that teams have somehow "figured out" Johnny.

Gaudreau faced tougher competition at home. Shooting % on the road is unsustainably low. He was a victim of bad luck.

Johnny doesn't deserve $8.5 million a season. He's not even a point per game player, and he plays wing. A less valuable position than C.

Paying for potential is a dangerous game.

That's been brought up to him before as he's probably posted about Gaudreau's splits last year a half a dozen times now. He won't respond because it doesn't fit his narrative.

It's pretty obvious that Johnny's home/road splits from last year are even more unsustainable than the 14/15 Calgary Flames. Even if Hartley had been retained, I highly doubt he would come close to replicating them again.

Obviously road match ups will be an issue with Johnny until a legit 2nd line is assembled. However, that was an issue in 14/15 as well. Weird how the splits were relatively even in that year...

If it goes 8.5 to 10 million, Johnny may sign but he would not be long for here. I would bet he would be traded to the US Eastern seaboard midway thru that deal. A pretty big ticket for a guy that still has to prove he can play on the road.

Kane signed 5 years 6.5M for his second contract back in 2010. Turned out to be 11% of the team cap. 11% of of the cap hit today would be around 8M. Granted he isn't Patrick Kane and doesn't have a couple cups so I think it may come in around that or a bit lower. Gives you a ballpark that I think they might be asking for.
