Breaking News - Johnny Gaudreau makes his decision signs 7-year deal

Less than two hours ago Frank Seravalli of The Daily FaceOff sent out a tweet claiming that Johnny Gaudreau turned down a 7-year deal worth $84,000,000. Unfortunately for Seravalli the information he had given to him was incorrect.

Now while he clearly prefaces the idea with a little bit of skepticism it is clear that offer was likely never offered. Elliotte Friedman tweeted out the following seconds ago.

This comes as a surprise as it appeared New Jersey and the New York Islanders were the front runners all day for Gaudreau.
