Although I'm sure he was anticipating being traded yesterday just like all of us thought he would be, he's a good pro and he likes this city. Calgary has always treated him well and he's done the same so I wouldn't put a contract extension out of the question. Even if he does go and the flames don't get any assets for him... I think there is still a benefit to have a veteran top six forward like him around during the last 20 games to mentor some of the kids who are going to get call ups down the stretch. Especially if gaudreau gets a late season call up.
