I would think that the Flames are really wanting to sign Matthew Tkachuk for the long term especially with the great start he's having. Final year of his current contract and will be a Restricted Free Agent (RFA) next season.

Johnny Gaudreau will be an Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) after this season.
I just think Johnny has been playing amazingly really and better than ever especially under Coach Darryl Sutter.

I don't know but I hope the Flames are able to re-sign both these players because if they're leaving here another team will get a star player for potentially a steal. Even if it's a high pick or picks there's no guarantee it will be a player like Johnny or Matthew. Same with current roster players and prospects.

I would think that Gaudreau and Tkachuk have to be in the top 10 players in the league right now or pretty close.

I really think there will be news about these signings here soon, because the Flames can't wait in my view and the longer it goes on the more likely we could possibly not see these guys here anymore.

Get it done Brad.
