Monahan, selected sixth overall by the Flames in the 2013 draft, played nine seasons in Calgary.
He can play on the power play, he can play heavy, he’s highly, highly competitive, highly skilled. “Watching him over his career, he’s really developed the ability to play in all sorts of situations as guys do over their career, as they mature. “He’s got a unique combination of skill and snarl. “It’s fairly well known that we tried to trade for Naz back when he was in Toronto,” Treliving said. Kadri was then traded to the Avalanche on July 1, 2019. The Flames attempted to acquire him from Toronto in 2019, but Kadri used the no-trade clause in his contract to veto the deal. This is not the first time the Flames have tried to add Kadri to their roster. “The last month has probably been a little more dramatic just with the people involved, the players involved, but that’s the job.”
“It has been busy, no question,” Treliving said. The Flames then locked up Huberdeau long-term with an eight-year, $84-million contract extension. What looked like a potential nightmare for Calgary started to turn around when the Flames dealt Tkachuk to Florida for a package that included forward Jonathan Huberdeau, who had 115 points last season, and defenceman Mackenzie Weegar. The New Jersey native signed a seven-year, $68.25-million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on July 13.Ĭalgary was then informed that forward Matthew Tkachuk, who had a breakout season with 42 goals and 104 points, would not sign a contract extension after the upcoming season.

Kadri was selected seventh overall by Toronto in the 2009 NHL draft and has 512 points (219 goals, 293 assists) in 739 career games with the Maple Leafs and Colorado.Ĭonfirmation of the signing, which also came on Treliving’s birthday, was the latest bombshell in a roller-coaster Calgary off-season that started with the loss of star forward Johnny Gaudreau. Obviously, we’ve given him a good contract. Put him with the current centreman we do have, we think that becomes a formidable group,” Treliving said Thursday in a media Zoom call. That was his return to action after being injured in Game 3 of the Western Conference final after being hit from behind by Edmonton forward Evander Kane. He added 15 points in 16 playoff games, including the overtime winner in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final against Tampa Bay. Kadri had 87 points (28 goals, 59 assists) in 71 games for the Avalanche in 2021-22. The Flames also sent forward Sean Monahan and a conditional 2025 first-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens for future considerations in a move to create salary cap space for Kadri’s contract. The deal was announced on a day when Kadri and his wife were travelling in Europe and Flames general manager Brad Treliving was in Texas helping his daughter relocate for school.
