I also think that Brady signing a long term deal is encouraging as well. Not that they are the same people, obviously one signing long term in a smaller Canadian market doesn't mean the other will, but they could both have the same mind set having been raised together. Both of these guys are extremely professional and I think if they are treated right and paid their worth, they will want to see things through. Just my gut.
Matthew's recent comments about Calgary and the Flames were also very encouraging. He seemed very sincere about his love for the city and the team. Maybe he met a Calgary girl or something, but he seems a lot happier these days.
