Gaudreau's parent went to the media stating that Johnny Hockey wanted to commit to an 8-year-deal with the club back in the 2021 summer. Turns out they offered him a deal that was nowhere near his market value. The small forward was really embarassed by it all and then went on to conclude a carreer high 115 points the following season. Tough loss.
According to Gaudreau's folks, he never completely closed the door to returning to Calgary, but you can be certain that this offer played a major role in him not returning.
