The Calgary Flames were hoping to get Johnny Gaudreau locked up to an 8-year contract. Even today General Manager, Brad Treliving made Gaudreau an offer of $10,500,000 for each of the next 8-years. Unfortunately for the Flames it appears that Gaudreau has decided he'd rather test free agency.
Gaudreau is coming off a 115 point year, which put him in the best possible position going forward. Gaudreau has been connected to the Flyers, Islanders and Devils as potential suitors.
