Seravalli: "No traction" in Gaudreau talks with Calgary - Flames have offered $10+M x 8

[viper0220]

tik tok tik tok..

just over 5hrs and change until he is done in CGY if we dont see anything signed by then.

Is it not 10am Wednesday morning?

 

[Hisch13r]

I still think Johnny Hockey signs last minute, i mean who can turn down 80 mil.

Someone who could take slightly less and live closer to home

Is it not 10am Wednesday morning?

Nope

Does the Flames offer expire automatically at noon tomorrow?

Nope

When is it?

 

[seafoam]

12 PM ET tonight I believe. They can still offer him a contract tomorrow, it just can’t be an eight year length.

Does the Flames offer expire automatically at noon tomorrow?

When does free agency open?

I think it expires at that moment.

 

[Hisch13r]

When is it?

Does the Flames offer expire automatically at noon tomorrow?

8th year goes away in 5 hours

Does the Flames offer expire automatically at noon tomorrow?

They lose the ability to offer an 8th year on a contract tonight at midnight eastern time (5 hours from now)

(It's a little unclear as there's some discrepancy. The CBA states that the 8th year option goes away when a player becomes a UFA.. which doesn't technically happen until FA opens tomorrow at noon eastern time (17 hours).. but it's been widely reported that the actual deadline for the 8th year is at midnight.)

Their offers without 8 years don't necessarily 'expire' though.

They have until 9pm pacific time TONIGHT or that option of 8th year goes away,

If Gaudreau isnt signed by tonight with Flames then theres no way he will be signed by them tomorrow, why would Gaudreau throw away 10 million bucks like that.

I guess it can still technically happen but the AAV would shoot up for Flames to match the total money

8 yrs 10mil aav = 80 mil

or

7 years 11.4ish mil aav - 80mil

Lol nobodies giving up anything for a few hours

Somebody should give up something because it will break our hearts if he leaves and we get nothing.

Midnight EST the ability to give the 8 year contract is done

No one is giving up anything when they can have him for free in few hours. He's either going to Philly or NJ with NYI (doubtful) as a wildcard. Gaudreau is going to wherever he wants so giving up even a 7th rounder for his contract rights is pointless.

Why is NYI doubtful? Just curious

 

[TeddyBare]

It is absolutely true.

LOL
which Gaudreau was

Hence the reason it is sign.............. then trade.

 

[UrbanImpact]

4 hrs and change, whats the vibe like in CGY nation?

As a Canuck fan, im pulling for you guys to re-sign Johnny Hockey.

 

[Oldaccount]

For a few reasons. If Johnny is going home then Philly would be his ideal choice but if they don't have the money to offer then he's going to the next best thing which is NJ. He's going out east to be as close to home as possible & NY is further from home then Philly or NJ. Also there's no way I see the Islanders out bidding NJ. If it's a race between the 2 then NJ will offer more money.

The vibe is intense, everybody's wondering how did we get in this situation?

Hardly reliable, but another gut punch to our hopes as flames fans

Doubt it's reliable. His source is probably one of those 8 balls that you shake up and gives you an answer after you ask a question.

 

[barry halls]

I’ll be stunned if he doesn’t sign with Calgary. All parties are probably hard at work as we speak hammering out the details on the new deal.

Don’t worry flames fans, he’s staying for sure - in fact I would bet my tax return on it!

 

[super6646]

Doubt it's reliable. His source is probably only those 8 balls that you shake up and gives you an answer after you ask a question.

Doubt it, but it’s not helping my nerves.

 

[Chips]

I really hope he doesn’t sign with the Flyers. The Devils are still drastically closer to Philly then Calgary, and it really isn’t drastically far at all. Wanting to be closer to family doesn’t necessarily mean he has to be on top of them. He’d have plenty of opportunities to see his family in any of the neighboring NHL cities.


There’d be days off throughout, and more easily his family could come to him without having to go a crazy distance.


It’d be nice to see him actually compete instead of stuck on the worst run franchise
