cross16 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Starting to feel like he just wanted to go somewhere and play hockey. Not the star of a Canadian team, not Philly (pressure from that fanbase) or his hometown just a nice place to play where he can do his thing and be him, closer to his family, and have his kid (or kids) grow up in an area he likes. That doesn't strike me as out of character for him either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanted to compete I was hoping we could get some solid top 9 depth. I would have taken Domi at 1x$3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Really hard to wrap my head around this still. If he went to NJ, I would have totally understood from a hockey standpoint. They are loaded with young talent. Columbus is a very average team across the board. I don't see Johnny hoisting a cup there anytime soon. If he stayed in Calgary, he's the most popular Calgarian, as he's been for 8yrs. Not sure he loved that. He was never really one to stand in front of the microphone either. CBJ is a much quieter market, as I said earlier, Ohio State football is the #1 show in Columbus. Columbus is still a relatively young franchise, without a ton of offensive talent. Johnny will likely end up getting his number retired after all. If he puts up 58pts a season, he's their 2nd all-time scorer. 78pts a season, is less likely, but that would see him surpass Rick Nash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac70 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Just think he left $15 million on the table to not play in CGY, whats worse this or the signing in CLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on what NJ was offering. i never really saw the Islanders as a fit personally. the other weird thing is I saw a Tweet this morning that he was doing 10.2 with NJ.. and there was a press conference scheduled for a couple hours later .. obviously that didnt happen .. so im thinking they tried to play leverage and it blew up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get Kadri could take the sting out but that means, we move Backs or Monahan out The only thing that make sense is what Cross stated , he just didn't want the spot light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 When the Flames originally acquired Zadorov, I wondered if Zadorov would look for term. He had bounced around a bit. Ultimately, he took the 1yr deal and looked like he priced himself out of CGY. Obviously the 4.5x4 market didn't materialize. Never thought Gudbranson would get paid more than Zadorov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I don't think it was ever reported that Z was leaving if Gaudreau did. I think it was speculated by someone but I thought it was framed more as perhaps he is gone. All I ever heard was he wanted to stay but Flames weren't sure it was gonna happen as they were thinking Gaudreau was staying. But nice to see a player that wants to stay. I would be surprised if this was his best offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted July 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 The blueline will be interesting to watch at camp. Left side looks set Hanifin Kylington Zadorov Valimaki, Mackey and Meloche are all waiver eligible, likely fighting for a 3rd pair role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree its crazy what contracts are like these days but after seeing what Sergachev got from Tampa earlier as well as Cernak I am far from surprised.
