This thread is funny.

Gudbranson signs... "Damnit, Gudbranson going? I loved him. what are the Flames doing".

Terms announced... "whaaaaaa???? see ya."

Happy for him getting a big payday.

Happier that it wasn't the Flames overpaying.

Starting to make more sense - Kekalainen saw the pic of Gudbranson hanging out with Gaudreau over the weekend.

Maybe Kekalainen will overpay to get Monahan. He seems to have gone crazy

Gud got Suttered into a 16m contract! Good for him.

Didn't know where else to put this. Gudbranson was on the Fan960 and talked about signing in Columbus, if he knew that Gaudreau was going to sign there as well (spoiler - he says he didn't), how much he liked playing in Calgary, that tongue injury he had, how the playoffs went, and lots more. Definitely worth a listen.

Gudbranson was a beauty. Maybe biggest turnaround in terms of fan appreciation and goodwill from start to finish?

His signing was almost universally mocked within the fanbase and around the league, and he won over the city as a player and person.

Close wives etc.

Don't care what anyone said - JG is whipped and his wife made the decision.

But glad she did as I think with JG and MT turnover the Flames are a stronger, more complete team now. So thank you to JG wife.

Gudbranson was an absolute beauty for us, and seemed like an outstanding person too. Nothing but great things to say about his time here. Wish we could have re-signed him, but in the business of hockey, letting him walk at 4x4 was the correct move.

Dude had a career year. Totally turn around

Would be glad to have him back for less than 3M. Prefer him over Zadorov for sure

5 for 5 in fights and his last 2 were his best.

Going to be missed for sure and he will have a tough time replicating his effectiveness here, in CBJ. Sutter put him in Zadorov in the right situations within the team dynamic, even with him chewing up the minutes.
