Well, your move Johnny. its fun to think hypothetically that if we swing a deal with NJ for Chucky, it may push Johnny to NYI lol Word I heard was NJ was at 10.2 .. but at least he'd be close to home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media is ramping up the talk of mandates and lockdowns, so he would be stuck in Canada again then. I don't think he cares as long as it's in the USA. East is better for him, but Canada was out. If that wasn't the case, he would have just said he is going to FA, not say he is signing to a mystery deal in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only have to beat $10.2 x 7-years, we should welcome Gaudreau back at $10.5 x 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Some media dude (Greg Burke) I have never heard of has said: 1) Isles signing JH to 11.5 x 7M 2) CGY finalizing Kadri at 6x8.5M So many fake tweets these days. Nobody else is mentioning this, so I tend to think he's blowing smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best UFA on the market has chosen them and they made no effort to make it happen. Free asset and decided to pass. They even overpaid for Hayes to help land Gaudreau. I'm guessing $9.5-mil would have been good enough because Johnny's heart had already decided to go there. If Gaudreau would come back to the Flames at $10.5-mil x 7, then all is forgiven.

But $8.5-mil. ouch. Hope it's only 4-years. Kadri is already 31-years-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left for family reasons we were told, not money. HIs agent and Tre said it wasn't about the money. In all reality he will leave 9-10 million on the table with his decision. So let him play where ever he likes out East, CLB, CHI, NJ, Buff, BOS, PHI whats it matter. He isn't coming back and frankly with the way he left nor should he be extended that privilage to.

Thebrewcrew Posted July 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Little bit surprised that Johnny hasn't signed today. It sounded like the Flames (thought) they were close to the deal last night, then it fell through. I would have thought that meant Johnny had a deal in hand. I think what's happening is NYI and NJ are trying to use geography to lower Johnny's price. Saw the CBJ offer, that's a crazy offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked a quicker answer from Johnny but I accept the argument you keep pushing until you can't push anymore .. the return on his rights would have been low.. his return last offseason would be low as well after his brutal season.. and you can't trade him at the deadline when you're first in the conference .. it happens...were not the first we won't be the last Nearly every team with the room wanted Neal..who knew he was about to fall off a cliff for the first time in his career? We outbid 10 other teams for Brouwer ..same thing Every gm has moves he wants back ..but the fact we have top level players at every position and not one over $10m says a lot that most teams can't Not flipping out, lol. If your taking that way its way off course. JG leaving doesn't bother me its the insufficent methods that it happened and more than once. Teams have policies ie practice times, curfews before games, its a mandated thing with clubs. So why can't the organization have the same for contract decisions, cause it might piss the players off? How is it that multiple other orgainzations players advise them well before hand, hey just FYI testing FA....IE Dubois in WPG, thats a classy move IMHO. Our current situation is nothing new with this club, players are allowed to much time and when the decsion does come, it has a tumble down effect not in just one area but multiple. You could never convince me he couldn't have made the same decision 4 weeks or even 6 weeks ago. The result of the decision is rough for everyone, for me its the timing that could have been improved on by Tre making a policy within the organization IMHO is not a bad thing. Respect deserves respect that neve seems to happen with him, he gives but never gaisn any back. Once shame on you, twice shame on me third time find a new job lol.
