They did it so he can't drag this out to December.
How does that benefit him? If he doesn't sign, he pushes back his UFA year.

Can someone explain to me like you are telling a 8 year old , the reasoning behind Flames doing this .
From what I gather it’s :
Prevent Tkachuck from accepting his QO where the deadline was Friday .
The Flames did this to 1. Prevent off sheets being able to be made 2. Buys the Flames more time past the Friday deadline to work something out ?
Am I wrong ? ( probably ) or am I missing other parts to it ?
Would / could Tkachuk see what the Flames did as a negative or no big deal ?
Will this move piss off Tkachuk ?
So the Flames wanted to remove offer sheet
eligibility, gain more time to negotiate , prevent Tkachuk from just accepting QO and would be 1 year away from UFA for sure ?
They didn't do it to benefit him.How does that benefit him? If he doesn't sign, he pushes back his UFA year.
A bit higher?Most of the people here dont seem to understand this. Its pretty overblown. Calgary is avoiding the QO, an offer sheet, and setting a deadline for negotiations so there's no hold out. Besides that the only thing thats changed is if it still ends up being a 1 year deal (via arbitration hearing), it may be a bit higher than 9M
They didn't do it to benefit him.
Ok sure but how does filing for arbitration not help that?
I'm Canadian and I agree Brady is better.No, you don't. He's overrated by you Americans and isn't worth anywhere close to 9.5-10.5M. His brother is going to be better than him as of next year.
Matthew Tkachuk is a 75 to 80 point player without Gaudreau. He's also a far better defensive player. Not sure how you could come to the conclusion Brady is better.Shows that they don't believe he will sign...

Well a 115 pt player signed for 9.75 so it has to be under that
I don't think they can use a McDavid comparable. I think the best one is probably Kaprizov or Marner.RFA deals aren't comparable to UFA ones. His comparable would be players who signed RFA deals after getting 100 points - ish. He could easily use Marner or even McDavid comparables. He could easily be awarded a one year, $11m contract.
This could cost Calgary more than his QO would have, and they are still only getting a one year deal unless they sign him to long-term contract prior to hearing.
Your post was that Calgary did this so Tkachuk doesn't drag this out until December.
I'm saying how does Tkachuk not signing benefit him? Calgary has all the leverage there because if he doesn't sign, he's not a UFA next season. So that doesn't make sense.
If I'm Calgary and Matthew Tkachuk says I'm not going to sign, you just say don't. He loses a year of payment and becomes UFA a year later.
It prevents a team from doing an offer sheet that would result in the flames matching it and thus preventing any trades what so ever. It also prevents the player from dragging it out.
They've tried to offer Matty a contract that is higher than what he is worth, paying the usual "Canadian team tax" and he still doesn't want to sign. Not only that, he's taking them down a route that very likely leads to them getting nothing back in return while he maximizes his money the whole time.Shows that they don't believe he will sign...

I beg to differ, put him on Robert Thomas’s wing over the next five years, he consistently puts up 90+Matthew Tkachuk is a 75 to 80 point player without Gaudreau. He's also a far better defensive player. Not sure how you could come to the conclusion Brady is better.

Doubtful. Thomas is a playmaker but not a play driver. Gaudreau was both. Moreover you'd be wasting Tkachuk playing with with Thomas. He should be with ROR and Kyrou seeing the hard matchups.I beg to differ, put him on Robert Thomas’s wing over the next five years, he consistently puts up 90+
Keith Tkachuk is already on it. I bet Keith does more negotiating than Matthews agent. Keith may as well be his son's agent.
I think Matthew requests a trade by December of this year. Then Lindholm will likely want out.Nah. Keith probably lets his brother in-law handle the business.
