I disagree with you on this point though. Players are paid for the regular season. I know they are only paid during the regular season. Not disputing that. Again, if he gets his neck broken and never plays again you just spent $64 Million dollars on a corpse, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for salary cap, I thought guys on LTIR doesn't count for cap, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm surprised the Flames thought/think Monahan and Goudreau are equivalent players. They probably need to get out more if they really think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo0921 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I would love to see Benning throw that deal at him. He's an electrifying player to watch. He, like all Benning picks, plays hard in all three zones and even at his small stature, has push back. His production does dictate that pay range and if he becomes a hundred point guy, it becomes a bargain. For fun, a line of Gaudreau, Horvat and Boeser would be an epic way to usher in the new era. Unfortunately, the compensation makes me sick even to think about and Benning, being a draft guy, nulify's any point to even try to bring it up as a realistic possibility. Still fun to think about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 The Flames and Johnny Gaudreau are still far apart. Gaudreau continues to seek $8.5 million, while the Flames to not want to pay anyone more than Mark Giordano's $6.75 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Give it to him and Flames will be burdened with contract for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the Flamers are safe from any offer sheets. He's almost negotiated his way out of any option to take offers from other teams. I think his camp's made it easy for management to sit and wait for his demands to come down. No team will pay the compensation to sign him.

I guess they have an internal cap structure, but Goudreau puts butts in seats all over the league. I hate the Flames, but the little puke is darned fun to watch. He is a rarely gifted talent. I think the Flames should pay the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm238 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah there's no chance he doesn't get more than Gio. If they're using that as a BS excuse, then ask for a bridge contract and really f them over in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team will pay the compensation to sign him. I suppose if it all gets sour, he can just accept his qualifying offer and then he's a UFA next season. My guess is tho they'll "settle" at 7.5 per for 8 years. Man that is a lot out of an ELC. Is he really that good? When I look at it I can't get there but I probably just don't want the Flames to have a good player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Gaudreau signs any long term deal at 6.75M per year. It seems like the only option is to sign him on a bridge deal. I guess Gaudreau might take 6.75 if it's only for 2-3 years.

cbdoubleu Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Here's to hoping he signs a deal that brings him to unrestricted free agency and then he is gone from Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 They will end up at +/- 7.5M$, all depend who budges first. If it's the flames then he'll get a little more, or vice versa. However with the World Cup as preparation, Gaudreau can afford to wait it out, as he won't lose any training if this drags out until the last minute. I'm guessing 7 years @ 7.75M$ will be where they end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm smelling a bridge, but the Flames should be able to ditch some of that cap deadweight like Wideman and Smid. Playa got get paid, or be two bridges to UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
