Former Calgary Flame claims he knows the real reason Johnny Gaudreau wanted out of Calgary
When Johnny Gaudreau signed a 7-year deal with that Columbus Blue Jackets, most of the hockey world was shocked. Apparently that didn't include former NHLer, Mike Commodore who feels he knows the actual reason that Gaudreau left the Flames.
Brad Treliving, the Flames General Manager, shared he was told by Gaudreau that he'd chosen to leave Calgary for "family reasons." But is there more to those reasons?
Commodore believes so and today he took to his Twitter account to share what he felt the answer was.
Morning FolksI hope everyone is having an excellent daygot this a lot the last 5 days at Stampede»Flames were good last year, he had great year, more money, Why would Johnny Gaudreau want to leave?».my takecontinued
Folks..Gaudreau & his wife just spent the last 2 years in Covid Canada..endless lockdowns, restrictions, mandates, vax passport, curfews, empty arenas etc..how quickly we forget?..Health officials already fear mongering about what's coming this fall....Continued..
Folks..on top of Covid Canada..Calgary has the worst arena in the league by a landslide with a new mayor who immediately reneged the arena deal once elected.
IMO we are asking the wrong question..we should be asking «Why would Johnny Gaudreau want to stay?»
Commodore brings up some very interesting points that very well may have played a huge role in Gaudreau's decision. It will be very interesting to see if this plays a role for more players looking to leave Canada.
Could this be why JT Miller is seeking a trade out if Canada?
