Although most experts feel he will stay in Calgary, they must consider the possibility that Gaudreau would explore a return to his hometown team, the Philadelphia Flyers.
Johnny is looking for a 9M$ AAV contract.
He owns a property on the Jersey Shore, and his wife and family have links to the area, so he appears to be a perfect fit for the Flyers, who would do anything to get a player like him to help them rebuild quickly.
«Plenty of speculation will link Gaudreau to his childhood team � which, to set the record straight, is the Philadelphia Flyers, not the New Jersey Devils, as Gaudreau is a South Jersey boy � but signing with a team like Philly would set Gaudreau's championship aspirations back years. He's only 28. He has enough time left to sign a lucrative long-term deal with Calgary, compete for championships and then enjoy a homecoming with the Flyers on the contract after this one if it's what he really wants. But right now? There's too much good to walk away from in Calgary. The Flames have built something promising here.»
