Again, I may be mis-understanding what this whole tweet thing is - but the conversation is starting to go the wrong way here. But I'm not sure if the re-tweet was from Johnny or the poster in this thread.
Basically I'm confused.

Lol don't worry I don't understand twitter either, but I believe its Johnny himself retweeting

Here's his twitter page https://twitter.com/johngaudreau03

Are there any reports of him skating or practicing on his own?

[N-E-B]

Yeah I would highly doubt that's directed towards the Flames or his agent. That's his personal account, it could be anything related to his personal life.

Kanye West tweeted that, Johnny re-tweeted it meaning he just referenced it. Doing so makes it show up on his feed

Generally if you re-tweet something, you agree with it, want others to see it, or both

There's no way of knowing if Johnny was directing that at someone, and if he was, no way of knowing to whom

His family owns a rink, so I am sure he's been on the ice a bunch

Losing patience now for sure.

I hope the pitchforks come out a plenty (and they will) if this isn't resolved by tomorrow. Management is hurting the Calgary Flames product by subtracting that skill and flash from the lineup. Casual fans like watching him. And those casual fans are gonna tune out awfully quick if they have to watch this team -Gaudreau the first few games against rival teams. Particularly when McDavid's line is going to show up whatever makeshift first line we put together as a replacement.

[Manhattanboy]

Somewhat childish but could be his way of expressing his frustration. That's what kids do these days.

[calgaryblood]

Or it could be about a girl....pretty sure the Flames didn't promise him $8 million.

Or Johnny Gaudreau and his agent are hurting the Calgary Flames and the lineup with unreasonable contract demands.

Who the hell knows really? No one supporting either side can make a blanket statement like that.

[ComixZone]

Season opens with 3 games against rivals (2x Coilers, 1x Nucks). In the end Treliving has to get this done, no excuses. High end GMs get this type of work done.

This team can't afford to struggle out of the gate.

[Gaudreauvertime]

It makes me wonder if there was some sort of gentleman's agreement that if Johnny were to burn that first year of his rookie deal that the team wouldn't hold that against him when time came to negotiate. It would make sense given how it seems the team is using his 10.2c status as a major bargaining chip.

Oh c'mon!

Yup. That's it. That's the reason for the re-tweet.

Did you not see the Monahan quote above? C'mon man, it was the toast.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Clearly the tweet is about Louis Gross saying that he would always do what's best for Johnny. Gaudreau has finally figured out that his agent is a twit.

[GC91]

If he doesn't sign today. I don't see him playing Wednesday. I think after today it's fair to be scared that this is going to turn ugly

[Timbo]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have had it with this situation and this thread and if you don't mind I will kindly show myself out the door and go into full panic mode.

[zamler]

Can we please stop quoting this person?

High end GMs don't cave and sign a bad contract though...he is not an 8M player, he just isn't

Honestly if that is the ask I would be more mad if they signed it than if he was out of the lineup

[Rhettzky]

That retweet is kind of weird because that Kanye tweet was made a month ago. It is awkward to see the replies to the Kanye tweet from hockey fans too. Some must not understand how twitter works.
