If Elliott sticks, all we're missing is a top-end RW.

We either need to bring one in, or someone in our system has to explode. Soon.

Kerr speculating that Johnny himself broke the stalemate based on Gaudreau's twitter statement. Says he wants to hear if that is the case from Gaudreau.

This is awesome. Gaudreau definitively called the shot on this one and went against his agent.

I can see that. Gross was probably advising him to wait a bit longer, but Johnny wants to play.

Comixzone, ggg and par I'm specifically talking about you three. It took less than 30 minutes for people to jump on the negative bandwagon. I'm in awe.

Today is a great day for Calgary and therefore the world. Now is gonna go eat turkey until I have to undo my pants and am borderline comatose.
It's impossible to please everyone. I remember walking out of a recent mma fight thinking it was one of the greatest fights ever (Diaz Mcgregor 2) and there were people bitching about it on the way out of the bar.

This deal is a freaking homerun for the Flames but there will always be people looking on the negative side.

Now all we need is for Tree to pull a rabbit out of his hat and find a top line RW option in the next 24 hours.

Very happy with this - term is OK, though might have wanted longer, but he's locked up for now and leaves the Flames free to sign an extension with him if he really plays the way we all think he will.

Well done, BT - and thanks Johnny, for breaking the stalemate (as I'm sure he did)!

I would've preferred 7 or 8 years, but the lower AAV means we probably have a bit more flexibility when guys like Bennett and Tkachuk come up for possibly big contracts.

All in all, we'll have him for his best years of his career, and things go as planned, during this current groups "cup window". If the Flames don't win within this 6 years, chances are they weren't going to do it with an extra year or two anyway.

I... can't see Johnny saying that out loud unless he plans to get a new agent.

Just be happy he's here for 6 years. Good lord when did 6 frickin' years become 6 minutes? It's like, more than half of The Scorpion's life so far! Perspective people!

Say, let's ask Gaudreauvertime what he thinks about all this.

The best news out of all of this is we've likely seen the last of Gaudreauvertime.
