Can you please expand on this?

He told Tim that he was going to do something special for Calgary after not thanking the city or fans and when given the opportunity yesterday during his presser basically gave us all a giant middle finger?

Tim roped him in with some easy fluff questions then ended it with some really good ones we’d all like to ask. Well done.

Hopefully it’s a sizeable donation and not a TikTok

I'm over him. Change my name to Johnny Niewendyk. Both of these losers bailed on the Flames.

He is no Makarov.

Well, Gaudreau get paid $9.75M a season and all he needs to work 82 games and then he can go back to his off season home and spend all those times with family. That's pretty good, right?

For those who didn't watch, what were the tough questions? I dont even care about the answers. I just want to know if anybody in the media has the balls to not kiss a$$ and grill these athletes.

hahaha. well he kind of blamed it on Flames fans the questions he was going to ask since it was being aired in Calgary and his twitter was blowing up with Flames fans wanting answers.

He definitely did not make things easy for Goodrow.

He asked him "What happened to make him not to want to go back to Calgary" Goodrow paused and asked him to ask it again and then didn't give an answer. Tim didn't buy it. He is still talking about the non-answer now.

It seems as though some buyer's remorse is already kicking in. Gonna be a long 7 years Johnny.

This whole thing is legitimately hilarious at this point. ####ing stuck in Columbus because his team didn't come calling for him. He should just honestly save the effort and not do anything "for the city". It's transparent damage control at this point, so who cares?

The only thing that bothers me about this is not getting assets. That sucks hard.

Yeah probably similar to be honest…but likely a lot worse.

At the end of the day we are just fans. Our lives go on, we go to our jobs, and we spend time with our families. Give it a year and we will have new local heroes to cheer and get mad at (Johnny had his fans but he had a lot of detractors as well).

But for him this was actually his life. A moment he dreamed about as a kid that he never thought would be reality (remember he was 140 lbs, he probably never thought it would happen).

Then all of a sudden he’s actually drafted (he was surprised at the time he was even drafted iirc), then he’s scoring the winning goal in the NCAA, he wins a Hobey Baker, he signs with the Flames, scores in his first NHL game and suddenly that dream of being an NHLer has actually happened, and that dream of playing for the Flyers actually seems in reach.

Then you spend the next 8 years an NHLer in Calgary. You grow to love the city and the fans love you back, and you don’t complain or ask for a trade even when the times are tough, and you’re last season is the best of your career and you’re a UFA .

It’s a tough decision because Calgary was a great home for you but that dream you had as a kid feels like it might finally happen, you might finally be able to play for the Flyers. It’s been rumoured for 8 years from before you even signed with the Flames, and the Flyers fans have been clamouring over you on social media, articles are being written about the hometown kid coming home.

Then suddenly once you’re UFA the Flyers aren’t there, your agent is telling you no offer is coming, that the best deal is from Calgary and that you should take it. You make the call to go to UFA potentially against your agents guidance, now you’ve ruined your relationship with an organization you considered family, and the Flyers don’t come…now you’re signing in Columbus.

I could see why Johnny has looked and sounded about as excited as somebody going to the dentist these last two days.

In the end no matter how much money there is, or how much you’re just playing a kids game for millions of dollars, it still doesn’t change you from being Human and having insecurities.

Gaudreau would be sour because he would feel like Flames had no reason to be mad because in the end he would just feel like it was his right to test UFA. (And we'd have no idea what Edwards actually said and if was justified or not).

In the end I'm not sure it matters much because either way Gaudreau is no longer a Flame no matter how it played out, and it appears that there is sour grapes on both sides of the negotiation.

Seems to confirm the "insider source" report, does not specifically talk about Edwards though but said the Flames met the Gaudreau camp's offer earlier in the day and then Gaudreau's camp did a 180 and reneged on it completely.

Friedman clip came on after, corroborated that too and went as far as to say that his inner circle was mixed in some telling him to stay and Gross framing this up as the best offer he would get. All either Steinberg and Friedman could say about the reversal was that he suddenly wasn't "feeling it".

Just stunning to hear this.
The thing is if he made a demand and that demand was met and then he still balked then the Flames and Edwards have every right to be pissed.

It really depends on the phrasing of the conversation.

"If you give me this offer, I'll take it."

Is a lot different than:

"If you give me this offer I'll consider it."
