Less than three weeks from free agency, there’s a real possibility Johnny Gaudreau won’t re-sign with the Calgary Flames. As we know, what Gaudreau decides will define and determine how this offseason plays out for this team.
Knowing that, I see three paths Calgary could venture down this summer.
The best case scenario
The best outcome for the Flames is simple, at least for me: both Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk sign long-term contracts this summer.
I know there are varying opinions on how both players performed in the playoffs and what their next contracts should look like.
