If he is a top 6 scorer, then why isn't he an 8M dollar player?

Well..."because"....

That "because" is Treliving's job. Johnny has a lot of ammo as to why he is an 8M dollar player, if he is actually not an 8M dollar player, it falls on Treliving to make that "because" persuasive enough to change Johnny and his agents opinion.

No excuses.

I propose a suspension that is active until Gaudreau is signed because this is honestly getting ridiculous.

The season is about to start and there has been and will continue to be a lot of Flames related topics to talk about. These threads are all getting dominated by one persons childish infatuation with a single player and it appears he doesn't care about the actual team.

Okay, I'm sorry but Gaudreauvertime's last post is ban-worthy. This crap has to stop.

Well, it seems that this thread has finally gone full moron. You NEVER go full moron, by the way.

All that's left now is for Gaudreauvertime, in a display of masterful reverse psychology to reveal that he is in fact GM Brad Treliving. Then he will admit publicly that the Flames don't have the money for Johnny not because of the salary cap, but because of some serious illnesses and failed relationships amongst the Flames ownership group. Following this declaration of desperation and woe, he will open a Gofundme account to save the Flames and bring Johnny in, to cheers of admiration and support.

Everyone complaining about Gaudreauvertime - you're 50% of the problem you're complaining about.

Either engage him in conversation, or ignore him. Stop complaining.

Ignore doesn't cut it when a poster starts accusing the team of being liars. There have to be standards.

Ignore feature is useless, especially when the poster you can't f'ing stand posts at a high rate. First of all, other people quote him, so you're still exposed to the stupid, but secondly, with the high rate of posting, it makes threads (believe it or not) even more unreadable.

Is there at least some feature where he can only post 3-5x per day? This is getting so ridiculous.

You cant ignore him because so many people quote him. You can't engage him because he doesn't make sense. Its like being at work with a faulty fire alarm that keeps going off; even if you find a way to ignore it, everyone keeps talking about it.

This team can't afford to struggle out of the gate.
Even without Gaudreau I doubt they'll struggle against those two teams. But we will be in trouble once we start playing the tougher elite teams.

Not a good quote from the coach:

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Gulutzan says the 13 forwards he has in camp right now is the group he anticipates starting the season with. #Flames

Just put him on Ignore. I put MrMastadonGirl on Ignore, and my quality of life has improved 100%.
Gaudreauovertime does seem to post alot on this topic. I hope he gets a good nights sleep and eats 3 solid meals.

Back on topic:
The ReTweet is bad news in my opinion.

The Boring Monahan Tweet was twitter gold!

The way I looked at this was that it was on Johnny's agent until the regular season started and on Johnny himself once real games are being played.
