Give the dude a break and please let's get the thread back to discussing the Gaudreau extension and not slanging our cyber wang's on the table.

He sent me nudes, I posted them on Reddit and also gave them to the hacker known as 4Chan.

So we've let a helluva lot go in these threads, but the time has come for everyone to settle the eff down and keep discussion civil and on topic with the news of the day - if any comes out.

Let the professionals do their job speculating and getting their leads.

[calumniate]

Is it Monday yet?

[Reggie Dunlop]

Sign Johnny. Find him a nice Calgary girl. Give Papa Gaudreau a job managing Calgary Flames Community Arenas. One big happy family.

Just pray the mob doesn't turn on you señor

I'm just waiting to be able to use my very beautiful Harry Potter/Brad Trevliving image for the inevitable signing.

At first they resisted but then they began to sway

The future is in the palm of your hands guys.

These basically say nothing, should fit in well with most of this thread:

[Stay Golden]

Any guesses If it is 6.5m range 3 years. Over 7m it will be 6 years. My guess 7.1m 6 years.

[Alberta_Beef]

my guess is 8 years @ 7.325

You have the right to post your opinion. You don't have the right to have your opinion respected and your ideas to be free from criticism. The trend that you are noticing is happening for a reason.

Been my guess for a few weeks as well.

[djsFlames]

Yeah but he's sitting for almost 3 weeks in between WCH and the regular season. Enough to be a bit rusty. I'd like him signed tomorrow if possible. In time to sneak him in for a warmup game with Monahan on thursday.

Here is what I gleaned from game sheets of the WCH games:

· In the Prelim round Team NA played one "road" game v. Team Europe that they won 4-0; Gaudreau scored an even-strength goal and had an assist on a power play goal.

· In the Group stage Team NA played two "road" games: v. Finland they won 4-1, and Gaudreau scored an even-strength goal. V. Sweden they won 4–3 in OT, and Gaudreau scored an even-strength goal, and had a 3v3 assist.

So that is 3 GP, 3G, 5Pts; 3 EVG, 1 PPA, 1 3v3A

It's a very small sample size, but it looks fine to me. I tend to think Gaudreau's struggle against road-matchups is probably a little overblown.

You have to allow for the fact that Gaudreau wasn't on the "top" line (assuming the other teams saw McDavid as the number one centre like the media did). And that's they typically didn't have checking lines on the other teams the same way NHL teams do.

I believe Monahan has lockout protection in the form of a big bonus just prior to the CBA expires. He will get ~$35M of the $44M before the CBA expires.
Whatever the AAV, I'd expect Gaudreau's deal to have a similar structure

I would be very happy with an 8 year deal in that range.
