Gaudreau was extended a qualifying offer by the Flames on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau avoided the sophomore slump by racking up an astonishing 30 goals and 48 helpers this season. Calgary is likely extending the offer as a formality and will look to lock up Johnny Hockey to a long-term deal as quickly as possible. One of the top young talents in the league, fantasy owners will certainly want to snatch up the 22-year-old, perhaps sooner rather than later.
