Ted Lasso Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I don't know all the rules on offer sheets, but I live in Calgary and on the local radio they said he is not eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just hand the Flames two 1sts, one 2nd and a 3rd and set them up for the next 20 years with a possible two other Gaudreau? Given the Canucks' state, those two 1sts might also be top five picks while the second might be the 31st-35th pick; so like giving three 1st rounds. Yeah... no.

Gaudreau continues to seek $8.5 million, while the Flames to not want to pay anyone more than Mark Giordano's $6.75 million. They overpaid by at least a million and a half on Giordano to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Luongo Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Imo that little punk Gaydreau is hugely overrated because of his offensive game. He basically does nothing else well and isn't effective at all against the stronger elite teams and likely never will be. As much as I love a lot about the Sedins he reminds me of a player that will be like them. To me that's a very good point producer that will help you win games but more than likely disappear or not be noticeable in a good way in the real meaningful games especially playoffs because of the added physicality and determination displayed by the best teams. I really hope the Lames give him 8.5 because it'd be a stupid mistake lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't any unsigned RFA eligible to be offer sheeted? What restrictions apply in Gaudreau's case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need 3 pro years to reach offer sheet eligibility. He was an NCAA player and played only one game in 2013/14. He was 20 so that one game burned a year of his ELC - Calgary allowed him to do that because they didn't want him to go to UFA in August. However, that year did not count as a pro-year because less than 10 pro-games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Take 1 year $5 million and show management why you are worth $8 million. It's not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called taking one for the team, and showing you're putting the team first. That helps the leverage on the next negotiations. We're talking one season. Bridge contracts happen all the time.

I get where you're coming from, I just think it's a bit much for a guy who's only spent 2 years in the NHL. And wants Stamkos kind of money. But I'm not a GM or agent.

Do they deserve all that hate? YES! I actually admire a lot of the players that wears the Flames jersey for example guys like Monahan, Brodie and even Ferland (yes, but he was really just doing his job and his story is really a story of an underdog and I am sure if he wears blue and green Canucks fans would love, he just happens to play for the Flames). But I just hate their fans and their cockyness over one playoff series win and the amount of disprespect they have towards the Canucks organization and players makes me hate their fan base so much. So to me, nothing pleases me more than watching frustrated Flames fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
