We’re less than four weeks from the start of 2022 free agency and Johnny Gaudreau remains unsigned by Calgary. It’s crunch time and I would suggest Flames fans are getting more nervous each passing day a contract isn’t agreed upon. There’s a lot of information to sift through when it comes to Johnny’s future. Let’s look at what we know, and what we don’t, right now.
What we know
I believe the Flames have made their initial offer to Gaudreau’s camp, which meshes with timelines reported elsewhere. Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli has suggested Calgary is using a “pedal down” approach in negotiations with Gaudreau.
