Johnny Gaudreau’s future in Calgary is perhaps the team’s biggest storyline this summer, of which there are many. It has been my belief for some time Gaudreau and the Flames would end up agreeing on an extension, and that remains the case today. I believe it’ll happen and if/when it does, assuming a fair deal for both sides, I think it’ll be a good thing for the organization and the city.
I know there are skeptics about a Gaudreau extension. Some don’t believe he wants to stay in Calgary long-term, despite his numerous public comments affirming his desire to do just that.
