Todd Cordell: Calgary Flames, Johnny Gaudreau Nearing Contract Extension

If only Gio would sign..

About (frank)ing time!

I think appearing to be tough is really important for the Flames. No doubt Monahan and Gio don't want to see the Flames roll over too easy and giving JH way more. Also, Bennett is watching as well as anyone else down the road.

7 years @ $7million.

Allllllright!! Good news to start the day woo!!!

Gaudreau...great player. Pay the man. Always a joy to watch this guy play

Don't mean to spam, but in emergency need of a couple of active managers for a Yahoo Fantasy Hockey league. Draft tonight at 9PM CST.

20 team league in 2nd year. 7 keepers(6 skaters, 1 Goalie). 10 Offensive categories and 4 goalie categories...weekly matchups with daily lineups.

Send me a PM with email address if interested and I'll send invite

Thanks

As an Oiler fan I despise the little puke. As a hockey fan I find him extremely entertaining.
I would not risk the bad ju-ju by hoping he gets traded, so the best I could do is hope he (frank)ed your cap. Please Johnny hold out for 8...

And no one else besides Milan... but according to Tanner he's all you need and he's a god...

Got to love Oiler fans...

7x 7.5m

Cant see Johnny dropping his asking price more than a 1m if he has been holding to his guns for this long.

Unless he goes a 2 year deal at 6m or something like that. Which would suck for the Flames to have to deal with this situation all over again

And to think of the grief I took yesterday from those thinking this had been beaten to death...

Personally, I would pay the guy $8M for his production alone, which is why I am sure Treliving is glad I am not in the room! Hopefully it ends up closer to 7 than 8, but I will just be glad to have this guy locked up and for the conversation to be about when we start negotiations with Bennett (who should get a bridge deal IMO), our 2017/2018 goalie(s) and when Wideman will get traded

So all told sounds like Johnny is going to sign in the range I thought he would. This is why people just gotta have some faith sometimes.

Like I said.....here comes Johnny and Russell.

It's all a ruse...

Sign and trade to Philly coming!

Darn. I was hoping he would get like $12m per
