Seravalli: Gaudreau has informed the Flames he will not return

[Moneyhands23]

God I can't really buy in to watching BT re-tool the team. I don't believe in him.

[dino7c]

Brad seems pissed, probably because they gave him the most money and he still didn't stay

Lol Francis, trading his rights question.

[agulati]

Good questions by Eric Francis for once

[getbak]

Johnny is dead.

John, just John.

[ben voyonsdonc]

I’m not going to be gracious and wish him well. Johnny ####ed us. He has a contract offer and sat on it. He gave us a lot of sweet words at the end of the season but, if it wasn’t about money, he should have told Tre and let us get on with building our team. We could have made moves at the draft but we were frozen…waiting on him. He can GTFO.

[Moneyhands23]

Francis asking the questions that are important.


BT got played.

[oldschoolcalgary]

well, that sucks.

The only hope that I have is that the organization learns from this.

You absolutely cannot let Tkuchuk leave next year for nothing; you have to get assets for him, regardless of how Calgary's doing the season...

Why? Everyone knows this team won't rebuild.

Wrong.

The state income tax in New Jersey is at a marginal rate of 8.97% above $500,000, and 10.75% above $5,000,000. If Gaudreau signs an eight-figure deal there, he will be paying a blended rate of about 10%.

6.6% is the (approximate) base rate of SALES tax in New Jersey.

Francis finally asking the right questions

Flames got pajamed boy

Treliving ####ed us.

Flames fans need to demand better.

You gonna organize the jersey burning tomorrow???

[taxbuster]

Bummer.

Just find it odd that he didn't notify them before they were fully effed on all sides.

[dino7c]

yeah I'm not going to be an idiot and threaten his family but I hope his new team sucks and he puts up 80 points

totally used the Flames here

Ya, but they won't. The oil tickets will be bought and that's that.

ah man Johnny had to make a decision for himself. It’s his life.

Management’s job is to manage risks.

Management #%^*ed us. Just like they have for decades here in Calgary. An organization that has no real success has problems. It’s not on the individual players.

[agulati]

Keeps calling him John. Yeah Brad sounds like they didn’t expect this conclusion.
