With Cammy wearing #13, if Johnny signs and suits up on Sunday, any chance they give him #14?
Just sayin...

They should force Cammy to switch back to #93.

"If the Flames told him he had to play for nothing, he would do it," Guy Gaudreau said. "He's happiest when he's on the ice."
Gaudreau said he is motivated by skeptics who question his ability to play in the NHL because of his size.
"I've heard that my whole career, and it's always motivated me," Gaudreau said. "It still pushes me to prove people wrong."
|
Quote:
When Gaudreau was a freshman, ESPN analyst Barry Melrose referred to the athlete's "three-dimensional vision" and compared him in that regard to Wayne Gretzky.
Green believes much of Gaudreau's sense of anticipation is an innate talent. But he also believes Guy Gaudreau brought out qualities in his son with those unusual three-on-three games at the end of every practice.
"Guy let him be that creative," Green said. "It was like they were playing in the schoolyard, just having fun and using their imaginations.

He's not a FA this year, he's Flames property until August 2015.

I would think ATO but there's also a chance he could play vs. Vancouver.

I know that. I was referring to negotiating rights between April and August 2015. If he announces he's staying in school, that's effectively all the acquiring team is receiving.

He had 3 points and hit a crossbar. Did he do all of that while he was already out or on the way out?

Muscled him out to a three point game?
Union is a good team, no shame in losing to them, for Gaudreau or BC.

Flames can probably turn him into a first+ this year with all the hype.
Union muscled him out of the game. NHL will be an order of magnitude tougher.
I am not saying that he won't work out. Just that there is a big chunk of risk, and maybe a 1st and prospect would be less risky (albeit maybe less upside).

Someone doesn't know what they are talking about.

Maybe, but I am not sure that his waiting until the draft means he is going back to school. Does he have a deadline to inform BC of his intentions?
But yeah, he hockey gods smile on the Flames so I am sure my fears will be dispelled tomorrow.
