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

[Wreckus]

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!

For Calgary fans, I hope he stays. But if he wants to be closer to home, can't really blame him.

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

If it was just about being closer to him I think he goes Devils but I think the draw of being a Flyer is just as big here for him

What is CGY's backup plan if Gaudreau walks?

do they immidiately sell Tkachuk as well and burn it down?

do they go for other high priced UFAs?

Trade for JT Miller? ( would cost a lot within division trade)

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

I pray this is true. Pleaaase be true

Breaking NHL news from some random mets fan. Seems legit

Maybe Kadri? Can one of their centers play wing? I’m sure there will be a winger available at some point. Supposedly Tarasenko wants to be traded still tho I only briefly heard that


Edit: Patrick Kane. Apparently the hawks are selling everyone for a 4th round pick

LOL
which Gaudreau was

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

I know.,, the other guy was telling me I was wrong in stating the new team couldn't offer 8 years if his rights were traded.

Plot Twist, you owe on your return

Cause you are wrong.

The new team can't offer 8 years of his rights are traded. It's crystal clear in the CBA.

What can happen (and it never has to this point), is Calgary can give him an 8 year deal and then trade him to a team. But only Calgary can actually put pen to paper on an 8 year deal. Sign and trade vs trade and sign are very different.

Trade Tkachuk and rebuild. Anything else is delusional on the Flames part.
