I do think that playoff success is and will be a consideration for both Tkachuk and Gaudreau. That game yesterday and winning the series was for sure a new level and experience for the whole team really, a lot of younger players who are still trying to win it all.
Plus in a 32 team league only half make the playoffs and now down to 8 teams, both our players showed last night they can perform in big games as well as the regular season. We’ll be talking about this game for a long time.
And with Johnny, he’s already amongst the best in Flames history so that could really make him want to stay and play his whole career here, same with Tkachuk. It’s a good situation here for both of them if they decide to stay which I think they will. Winning is what’s it’s all about and they’ll still get paid.
