"Float" is an interesting choice of words here considering that doesn't even get past Treliving's reception deskBoston should float Debrusk and Vaak for Johnny and start from there. See what needs to be added

The rumor has always been Johnny will be in northeast 2 years from now and if he got his way Flyers would be the choice. It seems the writer who is most consistent in floating this rumor is a horse's backside and is hated by Calgary fans and even Johnny's family alike. He can be a horse backside and correct but then again maybe not.haven't read the whole string yet, so this has prolly been covered, but it sounds like Philly has wanted Johnny Hockey for awhile, and their team is primed to make a nice run this year.
so makes sense to go after him now, right?
now... what does it cost? that's the jagged pill. It's gonna sting.. but if it's doable, I don't see a reason why Philly would wait another ~2 yrs
Yeah probably, unless Barkov has publically announced he wants to play in Calgary (very unlikely but not impossible).Gaudreau will be 29 when he hits UFA...
If you're Calgary, are you comfortable re-signing him for 7 years at 10 million a season?
Panarin got 11.6
Stone got 9.5
Skinner got 9

You bring up 3 players at the end here? 2 of which are well worth their contracts and the 3rd an obvious outlier. What are you trying to say?
Yeah they are going to regret a guy who will routinely score a PPG...JH is like zebra: white stripe, black stripe, white stripe, black stripe... ass. When this ass comes, those, who give him big money will cry really bad.

The guy is one of the most talented players in the league. He’s not going to slow down anytime soon.
In his last 6 seasons he was PPG or above 3 times, i.e. exactly what I say. Add to this the fact he rutinely drives Calgary fans mad by his playoffs inabilities.
he’s a top ten scorer since he entered the league. All the guys around him are considered the greatest players in the league and pretty much all of them have better linemates.
But we know, Gaudreau sucks, he gets his points because of luck. Not a top 50 player or top 15 prospect according to the HF experts.
I love, how you ignore my points...
The playoff production? Should the capitals have let go of Ovechkin? Should the Wings have let go of Datsyuk?
Ovi is almost PPG in the playoffs. Dats was pivotal for Detroit during its successful cup run. The best Gaudreau showed in playoffs was 6 years ago, when he scored 9 points in 11 games.

both those guys were terrible in the playoffs for the first six or seven years. Fans were asking the same questions of those players, I remember the outrage at Datsyuk signing that big extension. The skill shone through eventually. Thanks for proving my point.
Ovechkin had 25 goals, 50 points and was +13 in his first 37 playoff games
people were all over ovechkin. Don’t act like it wasnt true.
especially around 2012 ish I think? People said he would never win. Ovechkin also had a better supporting cast. Only now are the Flames capable behind Gaudreau. Games 4-6 of Dallas and Winnipeg showed me that Johnny is on the verge of breaking out in the playoffs.
You said Ovechkin was "terrible in the playoffs for the first 6 or 7 years"... now you're changing it to "people said he would never win"
He had a playoff PPG average of 1.35 after his first 37 playoff games... which would've put him 4th all-time
Fun fact:
Ovechkin averaged more goals in his first 37 playoff games than Gaudreau has averaged points in the playoffs
Gaudreau will be 29 when he hits UFA...
If you're Calgary, are you comfortable re-signing him for 7 years at 10 million a season?
Panarin got 11.6
Stone got 9.5
Skinner got 9
weren't people POSITIVE that Pietrangelo would get 10+ for 8? dunno.. I just don't see Johnny Hockey getting 9+
Gaudreau would be your best offensive player. Is that a complementary piece? He has his flaws (Struggles to get the puck out when it comes up his side and pulls the chute on winning puck races if a hit is coming) but he's good on the backcheck, very creative and makes plays out of nothing.
I said something similar earlier in the thread, but it depends...
Gaudreau's agent will almost certainly cite the Skinner and Panarin contracts to justify the 10 million asking price
So, if Calgary is hellbent on signing him to an extension, I wouldn't be surprised to see something in the neighbourhood of 10 million per
I think it's considerably less likely he would get above 9 million on the open market though
