The hypocrisy of this statement.
He's a hack when it works against the Flames but reliable when it comes to Oilers [and their misery]
No he's just always a hack

I don't think anyone from the Flames board argues he knows the Oilers. He has minimal insider sources on any team. I certainly don't think he could break a story for anyone - he's just a newspaper columnist who hypes up his articles.

...Yeah no. We've never used him as a reliable source.

Silly rule.
If the flames refuse to bridge him and are only offering him a long term deal that is underpaid I would get my agent to leak it to the media once the season starts if he was willing to accept fair offers.
He would take that in a second that's way better than 8 ×8 for him. Unless he gets injured
Good way to piss off the Flames and have Gaudreau sit at home until he changes his mind.
Good way to let the flames fans know he wasn't being unreasonable and that their gm is screwing their best player . If he's willing to sign for something reasonable no reason it would go that far.
If the flames wanna screw him is the only way that would happen.
can't he still sign an offer sheet? The play does have some leverage, it's not like they can be bullied into accepting whatever the team offers or sit home, they could just sign an offer sheet or go to the KHL.
God damn Flames not wanting to pay a record shattering RFA contract.
Those dicks haha. 7M x 7 is even ridiculous. If Gaudreau was asking for 8M x 7, he can sit his ass in the stands.
No offer sheet. Could go to the KHL if he wants. Can't come back to the NHL without Calgary's permission for 6 years though.

Nah I mean only release it if the flames are only offering like 5 mill times 8 or 7. Or if they refuse to sign a 2 mill × 1 year deal.
Like if they won't do something reasonable is it even record breaking didn't crosby make 8.7 his first rfa contract? I'm pretty sure the oilers will pay mcdavid 9.7 at least × 8 when he hits rfa.
You have a top 6 point producer pay the man something reasonable. If he won't accept something reasonable the flames can release what they offered .

I don't know what would happen then. That would just be blatantly disrespectful to Gaudreau.
At that point a trade would be demanded I assume since there's no way the two sides could come together.
I'm assuming Flames are offering 6.75M x 7 and 7.25M x 8.
Which market value given his contract situation, not insulting at all.
Yeah I could see that working. Just the fact he has no other options if the flames low ball him is why I could see it happening.
Ya, Gaudreau is screwed. That one game he played in 2013/2014 is looking like a genius move now.
They probably didn't plan it like that but it sure worked out great.
Gaudreau would have to pull a Lindros to get out now.
