			I don’t understand the family push to be close. Even from the family themselves. Get your extra 10+ million. You can still retire at home with young kids before 40.

			It wouldn't be sending his rights. 
 It would be signing him to the deal and then trading him to the team.

If I was offered $80m, I might take $10m less just to be away from my family lol. There is such a thing as too close.

			Maybe that’s the counteroffer the Flames received.  A contract with another team.

10M or your parents get to see the grandkid grow up etc for the next 7 years without any travelling.

you are also on the road half the season...spend summers wherever you want.  He likely sees his family more than 90% of people

			What happened to Conroy? A few months on the morning show he said it would happen. He had the same agent as Johnny. Then again, strange of Conroy to be silent, lol.

Yeah a lot of young people move away from home.  Not because they hate their family but because they want to live in a new city, nee country, new experiences etc.
 
The Gaudreau’s can do whatever they want but not every one is looking to stay in one place their whole life.

Yeah, if he accepts $10.2 x 7 when there's supposedly $10.5  x 8 on the table, it's more a question of why he didn't tell the Flames sooner that he wouldn't be back. No need to take it down to the wire if you're set on leaving and the better offer isn't going to be persuasive.

			Is he really going to spend the day at the Stampede with Flames players and then leave for less money the next day?
 I doubt it
