If Lewis is digging a trench at 8.5M to push his own agenda then Johnny needs to fire his ### and negotiate it himself ala Rhett. I don't see Johnny actually demanding Stamkos money or nothing.

If they are stuck at 8.5m it's because Johnny wants 8.5m

I hope Johnny has enough sense then to know that that's entirely unrealistic for a player of two seasons and no leverage to ask 8, let alone 8.5 .

I believe that Johnny- through an x-men like mutation- is capable of bending steel. With that in mind, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he quits hockey all together and bends steel for a living at some factory. I hope that negotiations haven't gotten to that point... but I believe it might be the case.

Extending the trip is good news. Glad to hear it.

1) Difference in the dynamism of the cities. Calgary is a much more dynamic city when it comes to people who want to make things happen, on average. Another indicator of the difference in the demographics, when we moved here, the average age of Calgarians was 35 years old; Winnipeg was 55. Not sure what the averages are now. (funny to say that as I am now 55!)
2) Weather
3) Mosquitoes - this is a bit linked to the weather, as in, when it's nice out, you can't really enjoy the outdoors due to these little bastards.

Kub bread, Jeannies cake, Kelekis fries (sadly they closed ) , Osborne Villiage, The old commercial district, the "drag".... Why back in the 70's you even walk down Portage and Main and not fear getting stabbed even at 2 AM!

Technically speaking, it was lunch time of my first day so it was less than a day for me, too. I rounded up.

If they are still over a million apart, after Treliving extended an olive branch, went there to negotiate, and by many accounts has moved somewhat (possibly over $7M now), then Gross is clueless and they must still be asking for $8M+.
If that is in fact the case, Johnny is going to be missing some games. Maybe a lot of games. He needs a new agent.

fwiw (very little I know) Winnipeggers are great people. I've never had a bad time in that city. Some great, old buildings, too, and there are some old money residential pockets ie: Wellington Crescent that are very, very impressive.
But I wouldn't really want to live there.

Agreed. Great place to grow up there because of this.

I can't believe this slipped by the ridicule-bot. He "is a Top-6 forward" so there are 6 places for him? Don't bother responding...I'm just here to make sure this was quoted for posterity.

McKenzie: Gaudreau & Flames are closing gap, but it's still a considerable gap.

I normally trust McKenzie with 99% of his stuff, but after seeing him use Eric Francis as a source for the JG deal, I don't think I can trust his information on this deal.

Based on what's been said out there by respectable in-the-know people like Friedman, this negotiation is not just between the Flames and Gaudreau. When you look at how the Kucherov negotiations are going as well, you get the sense that the teams and the players are really just the front line battle and there's a war going on between the owners and NHLPA on salaries for this type of RFA.
I'm sure many Flames fans would like Treliving to go all Kevin Lowe and just hand out whatever the player wants, but there's a lot at stake here for the NHL salary structure.
Johnny, Kucherov, etc might be missing some serious time.
