The Calgary Flames will "move heaven and earth" to sign Johnny Gaudreau to a new contract, general manager Brad Treliving said.

The forward, a pending unrestricted free agent, has an NHL career-high 105 points (36 goals, 69 assists) in 75 games for the Flames (46-20-9), who became the first team in the Pacific Division to clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs when the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 on Saturday.

"We made a comment at the beginning of the year we weren't going to talk about his contract publicly," Treliving told "Hockey Night in Canada After Hours" following the Flames' 9-1 victory against the Arizona Coyotes at Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday. "That by no means should be taken as any indication … we want him back here. We're going to move heaven and earth and do everything we possibly can to get Johnny back here. You've seen it throughout the season. He's a top player, not only what he's done, productivity with the puck this year, but what he's done without it."

The Flames hadn't qualified for the playoffs since 2019-20, when they lost in six games to the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference First Round. They're on pace for a 110-point season, which would be the second-most in Calgary/Atlanta Flames history (they had 117 points when they won the Stanley Cup in 1988-89).
