If you’d have told me there’s $5M difference in Gudbranson and Johnny’s salary in their UFA contracts I’d have laughed in your face.

That’s really how you understood that post?

Some CPers need to cling to this sort of nonsense. I'm inclined to let them.

‘Internet access’ and ‘amenities’ are weighted equally on the Maclean's list. ‘Population growth’ is listed as a criterion, but transportation isn't considered at all.

I guess you didn't get that that's what I was saying, but that doesn't make the EIU amazing either. What I'm saying is that if you remove the violence and you don't go to the bad neighborhood, many cities in the US are more interesting.

The Athletic article by Blue Jackets beat writer Aaron Portzline notes that Johnny decided long ago that he wasn’t going to sign in Calgary …

“Calgary reportedly had offered eight years at $10.5 million per season, but Gaudreau decided early on that he wasn’t going back to the Flames.”

Stings. Stinks.

So we’ve come back full circle to blame Tre?

I think that’s more blaming Johnny and not letting it be known/negotiating in bad faith.

What? No, it sucks Johnny strung the team along. I get why, for leverage. But it still stings. That’s not a diss on Tre.

He was mocking me and accusing me of not conducting myself with dignity. What other interpretation would there have been?

Just getting to this, haven’t read the thread

Not about the money. Not his hometown ..
I mean we know the NHL situation room has Calgary on speed dial, ready to disallow a goal at a moments notice, but, still, wtf?

He wanted to be on the same side as the guy firing the scary cannon?

Tre should’ve given him a (arbitrary) deadline. And then stuck to it

I agree, but I understand why he didn't either. He was being led on, and that won't happen to him again.

Also, just realized this but, #### any grown ass adult who goes by “Johnny”. You’re John once you’re old enough to drink

All the Capitals players live in Mclean or North Arlington, I doubt any of them live in Washongton DC.

Quit being an expert.

How would he know that?

He's got the reportedly in the wrong half of the sentence.
