Not saying it was, just curious how serious Johnny was about staying. If the dollars are close then it’s pretty obvious.

Wow, hard to believe this core started back in 2013ish and had some major misteps along the way, and kind of ends here almost 10 years later when we finally started to put it altogether.

But it’s okay, we still have everyone’s #1 trade deadline target, the fastest skater in the league, the pure goal scoring sniper himself, big bad Tyler Toffoli lmao

Still contend this is on Treliving. Had to know that Johnny valued being closer to family, this isnt a personal trait that just suddenly revealed itself in the last season.

Had this saved in your drafts for a while hey...

LeBrun also tweeting that Gaudreau will test free agency.

That doesn’t work. And Konecny and Provorov aren’t cap dumps.

I guess he just wasn't that into us

[Flames1217]

If this is true they were never really close.

You don't negociate weeks on ends only to fold hours before.

If he tests free agency he was playing the Flames the whole time.

[Racki]

Damn. Feels pretty over. The 8th year was our chip.

This seems against character.

He played over 600 games for the Flames when he could have walked into free agency before he even played a game

Hard to fault a guy going to free agency after a season like that, especially someone who clearly values family as much as he does

Good luck to him

[dissentowner]

Still holding my stance he will sign here. Maybe he takes a look tmrw but he still ends up back.

What the hell does that have to do with this?

[jayswin]

Yep once the big guys start following each other with confirmations, that's all she wrote.

I mean we knew there was a good chance it was coming and yet there's still an element of shock and gut punch to the moment.

[Strange Brew]

Sure want to know what demand was on the table from Gaudreau. Not that it matters.

[topfiverecords]

Goodness. I go the the grocery store and come back to 9 more pages. So much chatter about no news.

[tripin_billie]

Welp... Par for the course for us Flames fans...

Lol, time to let go man. I appreciate the energy you put into your proclamation and your defense against anyone who suggested this could happen. But it's over.
