The Calgary Flames are entering a very important offseason, one that will see them forced to make tough decision when it comes to signing Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, but the Flames general manager is supremely confident he will get a deal done. So confident in fact he appeared to guarantee as much in a report on the Flames official website.

“We love these guys. We’re going to get it done,” assured Flames assistant GM Craig Conroy, on hammering out extensions with his team’s top scoring pair.

Conroy's confidence may be motivated by the fact that it appears both players genuinely want to remain in Calgary, and with the chemistry they've both found in the Flames offense it's easy to see why.

“I want to be in Calgary and this is the only place I want to play," said Monahan. "It’s going to get done and it’s something I’m looking forward to.”

“I love the city of Calgary,” Gaudreau said. “I love the players in this locker room. I think we have a great group of guys, and I can see myself playing here for a long time.”

It doesn't sound like anyone in this negotiation believes that a hostile offer sheet is something they need to be concerned about.
