Blue Jackets' Johnny Gaudreau: Flashing early chemistry with Laine
Gaudreau picked up three assists in Sunday's split-squad exhibition game against the Penguins while skating on a line with Patrik Laine and Kent Johnson, Bailey Johnson of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Columbus' big offseason addition appeared to be in midseason form Sunday, and Gaudreau's already showing some chemistry with Laine, helping set up the sniper for a second-period tally. Having Johnson, the fifth overall pick in the 2021 draft, center the two star wingers is a potentially intriguing fantasy development, but no matter who's feeding Gaudreau the puck he figures to be very productive in his first campaign with the Blue Jackets.

Blue Jackets' Johnny Gaudreau: Signs in Columbus
Gaudreau signed a seven-year contract with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Gaudreau was widely believed to be heading to a team in the Eastern Conference, but the Devils, Islanders and Flyers seemed to be the favorites to get him. Instead, he's signed a massive deal in Columbus with a reported cap hit in the neighborhood of $9.75 million, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. This move instantly elevates the Blue Jackets as a whole, and it could be a show of good faith to help them ink Patrik Laine. Gaudreau is coming off of a 40-goal, 115-point season, though the lack of a true, established No. 1 center to support him could see the winger's productivity drop after signing the blockbuster deal.

Flames' Johnny Gaudreau: Open to re-signing in Calgary
Gaudreau, who can become an unrestricted free agent July 13, would like to stay with the Flames. reports NHL.com.
Gaudreau finished tied for second in the NHL with 115 points and he's due a massive raise from the six-year, $40.5 million contract ($6.75 million AAV). "I've been here for 11 years and haven't got to that ultimate goal," Gaudreau said. "It's been a while since they've won here (1989). So I think that would be pretty special, to win a Cup here.

Flames' Johnny Gaudreau: Lights lamp in Game 5 loss
Gaudreau scored a goal on eight shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Gaudreau ended a four-game goal drought with the tally. While the Flames' season ended Thursday, Gaudreau's contributions in the playoffs -- three goals and 11 assists in 12 games -- should go at least part of the way to changing the narrative that he can only score in the regular season. His 40-goal, 115-point season came in the last year of his contract. The winger will turn his focus to negotiating a new deal, though he'll likely have a wide range of suitors if he makes it to free agency.
