Luke Fox of Sportsnet: If anyone is interested in trading for Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau, they should be concerned with his reduced point production during the playoffs – 0.96 during the regular season and 0.63 during the playoffs.
He’s due a $3.5 million signing bonus this offseason and then will have only $10 million owed over the next two seasons.
Any Gaudreau trade could be similar to the Maple Leafs trading of Phil Kessell. He can’t carry a team but is a complementary star.
Eric Francis of Sportsnet: The Calgary Flames may be looking at some changes this offseason and it could start with forward Johnny Gaudreau.
