Meh. Still left us in the worst way. When Treliving is super confident to leave it late, and Conroy says its a 'done deal', it means Johnny changed his mind on the last day, and screwed us. Treliving should have said sign before the draft or we trade your rights, but oh well.
So he left 15m on the table at the last second, went to UFA and was surprised to find only one team interested in him (devils), while his flyers said no thanks. So he says then he thought about RETURNING to Calgary on a 7 year deal, but then CBJ called and he just immediately signed. Who the hell is his agent, his gf? You think you'd want some sort of professional giving better advice.
Then he says he left for family reasons, but on chicklets yesterday he said Columbus was nice because his parents and relatives wont be able to come around as much.
Basically what I've decided from all this is Gaudreau is dumb. Biggest deal of your life and it becomes a clusterfuck, get less money, screw over your old team, turns out you dont have the interest you thought you did, and after a couple of days go by you hire some pr guys to do damage control and ghost write an article. He aint malicious, but he aint bright.
Lmfao, I think it was Sutter that told him if you stay in Calgary, you have a legacy and your jersey goes on the rafters when you retire.
OK pops, I'm going elsewhere
