1 month agoColumbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan is looking forward to reuniting with Johnny Gaudreau at his new club. The two former Calgary Flames players are teammates again after the Blue Jackets picked up Monahan on a five-year, $27.5 million contract in free agency. "I am really looking forward to being teammates with Johnny again," Monahan recently told NHLPA.com. "Johnny is motivated to have a big season and be a huge part of the team and I'm excited to have the opportunity to reignite the chemistry we had for close to a decade." Following some awful injury issues, Monahan returned to form in 2023-24 with a 59-point effort across 83 games split between Montreal and Winnipeg. His productivity could receive a further boost in the upcoming campaign if he rekindles his old magic with Gaudreau, who might also benefit from the partnership.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
