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. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Jake-Matthews-Jersey/ . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Devonta-Freeman-Jersey/ .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Kemal-Ishmael-Jersey/ .

Joakim Noah and the New York Knicks are nearing agreement on a four-year deal worth $72 million, league sources told ESPNs Chris Broussard.Noah will meet with the Knicks on Friday in Orlando, Florida, sources said.The Knicks had emerged as the strong favorite to sign the free-agent big man, league sources previously told ESPN. Sources said multiple teams interested in the native New Yorker had all but conceded that the Knicks were his runaway preferred destination.No deals can be signed until July 7, but teams and free agents could start coming to verbal agreements on contracts starting at 12:01 a.m. ET Friday.The Knicks are eager to land a center this offseason, and Noah, a former All-Star, fits the bill. The Knicks have prioritized the position in free agency after sending Robin Lopez, last seasons starting center, to Chicago in the Derrick Rose?trade.Rose said last week that he would like Noah, who was his teammate on the Bulls, to join him in New York.In addition, the Knicks have several shooting guards on their radar, including Austin Rivers, Evaan Turner, Eric Gordon and Courtney Lee, sources told ESPNs Ian Begley.ddddddddddddHowever, the first domino is Noah. If and when the Knicks agree to a number with Noah, they will move on to shooting guard. The Knicks would have roughly $14.5 million in remaining cap space if they agree to these terms with Noah.The club hasnt ruled out the possibility of meeting with Kevin Durant, sources said.The Knicks interest in Rivers and location of the Noah meeting were first reported by The Vertical.Noah, 31, is coming off a 2015-16 season filled with injury. He suffered two significant shoulder injuries that limited him to 29 games last season. He missed almost a month with a left shoulder tear and had season-ending surgery to repair a left shoulder dislocation in January. He has spent a portion of his summer at The Peak Performance Project in Santa Barbara, California.ESPNs Marc Stein and Nick Friedell contributed to this report.
