I multiple interviews Gaudreau stressed how much he likes being on the same line as Monahan.
I wonder, how he is paired this year will impact his willingness to sign with the flames. Additionally, if Monahan does get traded, does that also impact the negotiations.
Personally, I would really like to see an All or Nothing type behind the scenes for the flames. Based on the minor amounts of information in interviews and reading between the lines, I would bet the flames still have a locker room problem that is not solved. I would assume that team is just like any work place. Some people it is just a job/paycheck and for others it is career with lots of passion.
