This whole discussion is so premature and pointless. Even if Gaudreau has plans beyond this season, which he might not even have, there's plenty of time for him to change his mind about them. Many times over.

These articles mean very little in the grand scheme of things. What is he supposed to say? Of course he will tow the line and say this. No different than when a woman asks if she looks fat in her bikini. You say what you want the people to hear. There is nothing to be gained for Johnny by stating anything about wanting to play elsewhere.
If he plays out his contract and wants to go out back out east, good for him. Do whatever you want, its a business.

It's more about following the rules/standard than working together.

Right, it may be from standing at attention in a row, or from old timey boxing (where there was a line between the fighters to begin from).

It's toe the line as in:
Being very careful in your balancing act between expectations and other ambitions.

For all intensive purposes, that's right. But I could care less. It's a mute point anyway.
