Sean Monahan’s choice of Columbus on July 1 (5 years, $5.5 million) was an interesting one, not the least of which was a reunion with his former Flames linemate Johnny Gaudreau. The Blue Jackets already have a ton of money invested in Gaudreau, specifically five more years at $9.75 million per season. Gaudreau has failed [...]
