Player Discussion Guess Matthew Tkachuks contract for bragging rights.

I also wouldn't be entirely surprised at a 1 year deal.

I can't imagine either side wants to go through this next summer as well. So I could see a 2-3 year deal, but not a 1 year deal.

I’m thinking 3 of 5 year is most likely. However, if the caphit is an issue and we can’t move Frolik for example. I can see them doing a 1 year with a handshake agreement in place for extension.

Perhaps, but I still think that is when would they go 2 years and worry about the extension on July 1. That said, I believe Tre has offers for Frolik and just hasn't traded him, hoping he won't need to.

So if it’s 1, 2, 3 or 5 years we essentially called it and are insiders.

It might be 6, because he played with Marner. He might want 7 because Mony. It might be 8 because Treliving is a wizard.

Yes, we are insiders, like Adragon23 on reddit.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

It is gonna be 6 years, this much I am 100% sure of.

That's cuz you and I are on that wave together, man.

6 years, 9.5M

Definitely! I’m cautiously hoping we get him for 8 per, but I see him asking for 9.5 for sure.

Could they not, in theory, sign him to a one year deal, then immediately sign him to an 8 year extension? I'm sure it's not possible, or it has to wait until January or some such thing. But it would be creatively Brad Treliving-esque.

Guys. 3x8

They'd have to wait until Jan. 1

They'd have to wait until Jan 1, but what would be the benefit of this for Tkachuk? I'm not exactly clear on what he would gain from doing this, whereas he'd be risking a lot such as injury, less productivity, even suspension, etc.

Well more money for one, the Flames can give him a much higher AAV for the extension but it keeps the cap hit low(ish) for this season.

More money over the term of the next deal. They can give him something like say, 6.5m for this season with an understanding the extension will be 8+ or whatever.

 

[CamPopplestone]

3 year, 6.75 AAV with a structure giving a high QO

 

[Qubax]

3 year, 6.75 AAV with a structure giving a high QO

I could see that.

5.25, 6.75, 8.25

 

[Fig]

Agreed. But I think I put too many years in my guess in the other post.

 

[HighLifeMan]

2 years - 14M total (5M signing bonus each year)

1st year - 6M
2nd year - 8M

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

$6.85 x 3

 

[DFF]

Boeser signed 3x5.85

Matt, don't be greedy, you should sign 3x7m and get ready for the season

The Flames only have $6.34M left in cap space so I'd prefer, if he's not being greedy, that he signs for less than that. Any more, barring a trade by the Flames to dump cap, and Dube is likely to start the season in the AHL even if he doesn't derserve to.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Send Czarnik to the minors and you save the bulk of his $1.25 million cap hit, or all of it in the very likely event that he's claimed on waivers

I'm not crazy about that. We are short on legitimate right wingers that are right hand shots... losing Czarnik decimates that pool even further.

 

[DCDM]

Not to mention Czarnik has been pretty solid so far this preseason so it would send a pretty bad message... even though people should understand the situation.

Can they put Valimaki on LTIR and save another 900K?
