Gaudreau, Monahan want to play together for the next 10 years
http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/c...-contract-rfa/
Quote:
After just two full seasons as teammates, Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau are basically an inseparable pair.
You’ll find them together on the ice playing quality minutes for the Calgary Flames. Often away from the rink, too, as close buddies. And more than likely they’ll be walking to the bank together this summer when it comes time to sign a second NHL contract.
“I could see us playing together for the next 10 years,” Gaudreau said this week. “That’s how much I like playing with that guy.”
|
Quote:
They’ve actually found themselves in a pretty good position to help one another out – not only as linemates, but also by getting a chance to play three minutes more than any other forward on the team per night.
“It’s fun,” said Gaudreau. “You try to get him the puck anywhere in the offensive zone. If he gets a point-blank shot, most of the time it’s going in. He’s got an unbelievable shot. It’s so fun playing with him.
“I find myself more of a playmaker so I think we have a perfect fit.”
Even though it’s been a disappointing season in Calgary, the future still looks pretty bright. With 19-year-old Sam Bennett in the mix, some high-end players on the blue-line and a top draft pick to be added in June – possibly even Auston Matthews – there’s plenty of motivation for Monahan and Gaudreau to commit long-term to the organization.
Perhaps they might even consider taking a smidgen less in order to keep the band together.
It’s pretty clear that they’ve truly enjoyed the experience of playing together and getting to know one another the last couple years.
“We have such great chemistry together and we can find each other on the ice and we’re great buddies off the ice – which helps on the ice as well – and, you know, I’m looking forward to the next however many years we’re going to be together,” said Gaudreau.

So awesome.
These guys are going to carry a line for the Flames for a long, long time.
Just wait until Bennett catches up. Hopefully he and the 2016 pick the Flames are about to select can carry a 2nd line for a long, long time.
Between that and the solid D we have, BT should be able to assemble a perennial contender.

And then in 10 years, Monahan will sign in Philadelphia and Gaudreau will go to Vegas. Wait, am I doing this right?

I love it. There's saying the right things and being all "Yay Team and city", and then there's this kind of commentary from the guys. This really gives one comfort knowing they want to be here for the long term.

Well since they've pretty much submitted to the idea, maybe they can get surgically attached to one another, essentially combining both of their hockey powers, and we can flank them with two really good players on their wings to form the ultimate top line.

I'm pretty sure this means they are going to Boston together so they can both be closer to home.

Likely not. You will notice that neither player explicitly said that they wanted to play here, only that they want to play together. Clearly, they are S good as gone.

It just seems more likely and obvious we are looking at 8 year deals for both

Such a bright future for the Flames, they are a good goalie away from being a yearly playoff team.

They never specified Calgary though. Monahan and Gaudreau to the Leafs confirmed.

Seriously though, does anyone remember that stupid rumour from a few months ago that Monahan and Gaudreau didn't get along or something like that?
lol

After a long and brutal season, I'm not exaggerating at all when I say this is the best news I've heard all season.
