I think all those players played a fairly normal length of time here.
Monahan and Gaudreau played 9 seasons for the Flames. They are 9th and 12th respectively in all time games played. Tkachuk played 6 season and was 30th all time for games played for the team.
It was less an issue of retention and more an issue of poor asset management. Though signing Gaudreau to an extension may have been a mistake in the first place ( though not as big of a mistake as Huberdeau).
