Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving struck an optimistic tone on Friday when discussing superstar Johnny Gaudreau remaining with his team rather than hitting unrestricted free agency next week.

"If I didn't think that it was possible, then we'd probably have turned our attention somewhere else," Treliving said. "That's not to say that it's a slam dunk. But when you think that there's a deal there to get done, you keep working at it."
