However, the Flames were built to be a Stanley Cup team and they failed to reach their ultimate goal. The Flames season ended, losing to the Edmonton Oilers in the second round.
With the playoffs are completed, like every other team there's going to be changes. One of the biggest changes could come with Johnny Gaudreau. Gaudreau appears poised to test the free agent market. The Flames are reported to have given Johnny Hockey a new contract offer, with a salary of $9.5 million dollars annually.
With Gaudreau, not responding, one of the biggest surprise may have come from Hockey Insider Andy Strickland. Strickland shared the news the Calgary Flames General Manager, Brad Treliving is looking at the possibility of trading Matthew Tkachuk.
