CALGARY, Alberta -- Flames forward Sean Monahan signed a seven-year contract extension worth a reported $44.6 million Friday.The move leaves Johnny Gaudreau as the last remaining move in a busy Flames offseason. The 23-year-old is still without a new contract for next season.Todays about Sean, Brad Treliving, the clubs general manager, said at a news conference in Calgary. This is his day.Said Monahan: I dont want to play anywhere else. I would sign as long as I could and I think we found seven years fits. It was fair for both of us.The former sixth overall pick has quickly established himself as a two-way force for the Flames, an impact performer almost from the day he entered the NHL as an 18-year-old in 2013.He scored 22 goals as a rookie that season before finishing with a career-high 31 goals and 62 points as a sophomore. Monahan maintained that level of production with 27 goals last season, mostly alongside Gaudreau, adding a career-best 36 assists and 20 power-play points.Monahan has actually topped all players from his 2013 draft class in goals (80) and points (159), outpacing No. 1 overall pick?Nathan MacKinnon?(59 goals and 153 points) as well as Aleksander Barkov (52 goals, 119 points), the Florida Panthers young star.When you look at his production, when you look at what Seans done over the three years, hes been at the high end of that level, Treliving said.Monahan, whose serious demeanor at a young age has inspired a satirical Twitter account, @boringmonahan, is already doing just about everything for Calgary: He kills penalties, is a key part of the power play, wins 51 percent of his draws, posts positive puck possession stats and scores goals.In fact, only 20 players have scored more than him over the past three seasons, all the more impressive given that he wont turn 22 until October.Treliving said the deal, which keeps Monahan under contract until 2023, was as much about what Monahan had done already as what he stood to accomplish down the line.We look at this as securing Sean for really the prime years of his career, Treliving said. This is a young player whos established himself as a top player and important player in the league, but is still in a growth pattern. This is a young guy whos going to get better.This summer has been notable for the number of young stars signing rich second contracts. Similar such deals include other top centers such as MacKinnon (seven years, $44.1 million), Filip Forsberg (six years, $36 million) and Mark Scheifele (eight years, $49 million), as well as defensemen such as Seth Jones (six years, $32.4 million), Morgan Rielly (six years, $30 million) and Aaron Ekblad (eight years, $60 million).Notable stars still to be signed less than two months before the start of the regular season include Tampas Nikita Kucherov, Winnipegs Jacob Trouba, Anaheims Hampus Lindholm and of course, Gaudreau.Calgary, which missed the playoffs last season, has already had a hectic summer even before locking up its two young stars. The Flames hired Glen Gulutzan as their new head coach, traded for a new No. 1 goaltender in Brian Elliott, drafted Matthew Tkachuk with the sixth overall pick, and signed veteran Troy Brouwer to a four-year deal in free agency.Gaudreau, who turned 23 last week, is probably their top talent though and as yet without a new deal. The American winger has played only two NHL seasons, but is already an offensive whiz, posting career-highs of 30 goals and 78 points last season. He finished sixth in the NHL scoring race and will suit up with Monahan for Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey next month.Im positive hes going to be here for Oct. 12 and going to be playing for the Calgary Flames, Monahan said, referring to the Flames season opener against the Edmonton Oilers.Well just continue to work at it, Treliving added. He wants to be here. We want him here. And you keep working away at it. We have every confidence were going to find a deal thats fair and works for both sides. Discount Air Max 270 .

NEW YORK -- Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera scored their first goals with the Islanders and helped New York to a needed victory in a finale of a long stretch of home games.Cal Clutterbuck and Ladd scored 1:39 apart midway through the third period to lift the Islanders over Vancouver 4-2 on Monday night, giving the Canucks their ninth straight loss.Chimera and Nikolay Kulemin also scored and Jaroslav Halak stopped 30 shots to help the Islanders improve to 2-3-2 in their last seven.We had a little bit of puck luck tonight, New York coach Jack Capuano said. The last few games we played well, we just havent got results. Its good for the guys to get that feeling.Ladd and Chimera, New Yorks top free agent signings in the offseason, had combined for just four assists through the first 12 games.Its great for me and Jason, just getting that good feeling to put a couple of pucks in the net, Ladd said. Sometimes all it just takes is one and build off from there.Daniel Sedin and Markus Granlund scored, and Ryan Miller had 28 saves for Vancouver, which fell to 0-8-1 with eight straight regulation losses since opening the season with four wins.Its tough. We need some good results, Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. Its nice we got the first (goal) tonight, its been a long time since thats happened. ... We got one on the power play, and that hadnt happened in a while, either. ... We didnt take it away in the third like we needed to.Clutterbuck backhanded the rebound of a shot by Johnny Boychuk past Millers blocker side at 9:11 of the final period to give the Islanders a 3-2 lead. It was Clutterbucks second of the season and first since the season-opener.Ladd got his first with 9:10 remaining, firing a one-timer off a pass from Nick Leddy.The Islanders completed a five-game homestand 2-1-2, bringing their record up to 3-6-2 during a stretch with 10 of 11 at home.There might be a little bit of a relief but I think we got a mature enough group to realize that theres a couple of games in there that we probably should have won and we didnt, Capuano said.Kulemin gave the Islandeers a 2-1 lead at 7:38 of the second period with his first of the season.ddddddddddddJohn Tavares knocked the puck away from Miller to Kulemin, who tipped it in from the right side. It gave Tavares a point in five straight games (one goal, four assists).The Canucks tied it on the power play with 3 1/2 minutes left in the middle period as Bo Horvat got the rebound of his initial shot off the boards and sent the puck back in front of the net, where Granlund fired it into the open cage.The Canucks entered a league-worst 7.7 percent on the power play (3 for 39) and ended an 0-for-19 skid on their second chance of the night.Sedin opened the scoring as he stole the puck inside the blue line, skated in on Halak and fired it in off the goalies glove for his fourth of the season at 4:22.That was a turnover on their blue line and I was fortunate to get a half breakaway, Sedin said. It was nice to get the first one, but we need more of those.Chimera tied it nearly 5 1/2 minutes later with his first. Anders Lee knocked Brock Nelsons shot down at the left side of the net and it bounced across the front of the goal to Chimera, who tipped it into the open goal.Game notes Sedin has six goals and 17 points in 18 games against the Islanders. ...
