haha there's a pretty big difference between one of the teams in the Northeast and Columbus. You know this, come on.

12 is too much.
Maybe not if you were getting all his prime years, but you're probably getting 3 years of top forward Gaudreau.
The last 3-4 will be brutal if he's 60-70% of the player he is now without that contract year incentive.

It's still reasonably close to home and he will be on the road really close to home for a large chunk of the season.
I said earlier that I wouldn't be surprised if Gross took the final offer from the Flames and checked to see if any team would match that total on a 7 year term before making the final decision to become a free agent. Gross could have just did this to make the Isles or Devils increase their offers, if my previous assumption is correct.

I'd laugh if it was Columbus, they are not going to make the playoffs any time soon at all.

Just because Columbus is closer doesn't mean it's close. This is just a fact.

I do wonder if Johnny thought the Flyers were going to make a solid offer and then they never made one at all. Or at least not a serious one.
This is why the 8th year should still be available for the previous team even after free agency has started.

Who says he's using Columbus for anything? Like Jarmo Kekäläinen is a ventriloquist's dummy and Gaudreau has a hand up his butt. Kekäläinen is quite capable of making a goofy offer to a free agent without anyone else's prompting.
As for Gaudreau's motives, you can question those if he actually signs with Columbus. The rumour that he received an offer is a far cry from signing a real contract.

Johnny is like the guy in the meme where he's glancing over at the other girl except Calgary is the hot blonde and he's looking longingly at a ratchet gargoyle.
Quite the downgrade for fam fam time.

As opposed to Newark?
