The Flames failed to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season, fueling speculation that big changes could be coming, including the possible trades of forwards Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Matthew Tkachuk.
All three remain, but Gaudreau can become an unrestricted free agent after this season and Tkachuk can become a restricted free agent.
Gaudreau is entering the final season of a six-year contract he signed Oct. 10, 2016. The 28-year-old led Calgary in scoring last season with 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists) in 56 games.
Tkachuk is entering the final season of a three-year contract he signed Sept. 25, 2019. The 23-year-old scored 43 points (16 goals, 27 assists) in 56 games last season.
Each is a key member of the Flames forward group and getting each to sign a new contract will give Calgary some longer-term stability and end speculation about a major overhaul.
"We understand people want the team to do well and when it doesn't, they want changes, so I understand it," general manager Brad Treliving said. "But you can't just change for the sake of it."
