The whole "we didn't want to be too close to family" thing is a bunch of hooey, and we all knew it. https://www.nhl.com/news/calgary-fla...ay/c-290470170

It's only been 2 weeks since one of the bigger news days in Flames history. Sorry, but not everyone moves on as fast as you.

The fact that we all #### in the oilers for their players wanting to get the hell out of there, but yet we’re the ones that just lost our two biggest names.. that’s why it’s not going away. There is a reason why players don’t want to play in Calgary.

He never said that multiple times and certainly not before he signed.

He didn't say the TOO CLOSE until after he signed with the BJs.

He probably got hundreds of texts on free agency day from his home crew pumped for him to sign in NJ and then realized… there’s no way I can handle this insanity on a daily basis.

I think with how easily he can be pushed off the puck in the playoffs, this might prove to be one of the best non-signings for Calgary.
Especially on an 8 year $84M+ deal…

I agree with that, and I was never a fan of signing him over $9.5M, but we'll still be missing the most entertaining Flame since Theo Fleury, and that's still sad. As a fan that watches for the entertainment and in the knowledge that a cup is a pipe dream almost every year, I'll miss watching Johnny even if I don't think it would have been a great signing.

Through 126 pages did we simply overlook that Gaudreau signed with the team his ASG puppeteer Jakub Voracek plays for?
It took until today for that to dawn on me.

Exactly, McD and Drai love playing in Edmonton and will likely retire as Oilers. This is karma for all the years of claiming McD would ask for a trade lol

Speaking of karma, having that Edmonton is no good thread is bad karma also, and it makes no sense since they just beat us and have won more cups... shows how rent free Edmonton is for certain flames fans.
