Sean Monahan has signed his ELC with the Flames. That must be the easiest contract to give in hockey. A first round pick? Okay, here's the max. Done. Makes me wonder why it takes three weeks sometimes, as it did here. Anyway, I have Monahan in my Fantasy Guide playing nine games. But he has [...]

    *   Matt Duchene signed a five year extension worth $30 million yesterday. He had/has one year left on his current contract.   Duchene will be a $6 million player very soon (if he isn't already). I wouldn't be surprised to see him score 40+ this year playing alongside Parenteau. It will be [...]
