There’s a small chance he does what Stamkos did and just wants to see what’s there. I wouldn’t bet on it but there’s a chance

And this is the most Calgary Flames thing that could happen.

Rooting for Matty Phillips more than ever. Not to replace Johnny but he should at least finally get a look.

I bet he signs for less than for what the Flames offered for him to stay here.

Respect his decision, it’s his to make, but still Irritating he dragged it out this long.

Glad the Flames got zero assets for him. Horrible GMing.

Well, so long and thanks for all the fish Johnny Gaudreau. Hopefully this doesn't crater the team.

Now begins the real work for tree.

This should not come as a shock to anyone. It doesn’t mean Calgary’s chances are done with him, but it is not looking good. He wants to see what his options are, and he deserves that. He won’t get more money anywhere else, as Calgary can offer a 8th year, but for Johnny it’s more about location clearly. We all knew he wanted to return home deep down.

He has earned the right to explore and move on if that’s what he wants. Calgary knew this was a risk, and it’s happening.

Now the question will be, are the Flames able to re sign Tkachuk? That’s the next problem.

Please cheer Johnny when he returns to the dome. He gave us 11 years of excitement even dating back to his first dev camp

At least we know now. Although it always seemed likely to me, I was holding out hope.

I don’t begrudge anyone going to UFA, but this 11th hour bull#### is lame.

C’mon dude. Were you really THAT indecisive?

Certainly his right to take it this far, but so disappointing. Flames are so screwed. Going to be a rough few years, and I imagine Darryl will be the next one to go.

He will, at the end of the day it was not a money thing.
