How do people always come to this conclusion.
He doesn't have to be signed for 9 million. He has to be qualified for 9 million.
If he just signs a contract, it can be for any amount.
Rumor: Matthew Tkachuk done with the Flames?

Yes they should. But they won't. I'm an advocate of trading Tkachuk because he has great trade value. Moving Monahan or Gaudreau for peanuts does nothing for us.
That said, think pieces that will hurt and you absolutely don't want to trade if you're asking for him because 10 to 20 teams are looking for this exact type of player.

Also this seems like O’Brien just trying to drive traffic to his relatively new podcast I don’t know that he has a connection to the organization or the Tkachuk family and he’s never broken anything before
But it’s fun to speculate

None of those pieces have Tkachuk value, so I can't imagine there's a deal to be made.
I may be completely wrong, but I don't think the Ducks are at the point of trading away multiple high end assets. Neither Tkachuk or Eichel make the Ducks good enough to be a playoff team, but they would probably improve them enough to be out of the top 5 picks. If they were a year or two further along in their rebuild? Maybe, but the old guys are too old, the young guys are too young and it would take a key piece from the roster to get a deal done probably with either team. If they can actually get some good lottery luck for once next year, 2022 summer will be the year to go shopping for a key player.
I could see a huge trade between Calgary and Buffalo because they both want a culture change, something along the lines of Tkachuk + Monahan for Eichel.

Tkachuk and a 1st for Eichel and a conditional pick to protect Calgary.
Let's go.

As a devils fan I really really wish you were the Rangers GM then lol. Tkachuk is a very good player but not even close to Eichel . Tkachuk and his play style is not going to age well . He already lacks in foot speed . I wouldn’t give up tons of sssets on a player that dues not drive play in his line or make his teammates better like Eichel does . Ask Skinner and his bank account how good Eichel is

Not true. The Flames can opt for team elected salary arbitration in which case the arbitrator would reward 85% of Tkachuk's last years total salary. That would equal $7.65M for the one year.
It's a question of value. Tkachuk gets you more than Gaudreau and Monahan combined. The 2 guys I wouldn't move are Lindholm and Mangiapane.

if Johnny wants to stay he’s still our most valuable asset IMO. Guy will just keep putting up points year after year, too skilled not to.
I agree Tkachuk has more trade value though likely.
yes but he has to agree to that or just take a 1 year 9 million
he would have to agree to take less. So he picks his spot.
Why would he agree to take less?
As a Ottawa fan I already know the value he brings ,and as much as it would be cool Ottawa wont be in the running...The ask starts with Stu and rightfully so,but having already one the another would be just too much of the same thing...I hope Calgary does the right thing here and gets a boatload of picks and good youth and stops chasing rainbows

I mean I'd need to see Eichel on the ice playing for a trade to be back on the table, Tkachuk is everything the Rangers lack.

Yeah think its the right move for them,grab a solid top 9 or two with little term and just keep developing ...The bigger pieces should come later

Tarasenko is healthy now. His shoulder is healed. He was looking better and better each game.
Here take all our spare parts for 2 30 goal scorers.
That said, I like Buchnevich. No interest in any of the others. Miller moves the needle. Interested in some of your younger forwards too.

Keep it simple, build something around Eichel for him and Monahan. Throwing Olofsson as just an example.
Calgary
Gaudreau - Eichel - Dube
? - Lindholm - Oloffson
As a top 6
Vs
Buffalo
Skinner - Monahan - Tkatchuk
? - Cozens - Reinhart
It works for both in theory. Neither would be great teams but as far as lateral moves for teams that think they are one or two moves away, it works for what they think they need.

You wish. Tkachuk is Kerfoot lite.
Flames would have to add a decent pick/prospect to Tkachuk for Kerfy
I don't think they will rebuild with this owner. They might be able to make a couple of changes and sneak into the playoffs, but they just don't have the pieces to be a contender.
Of course neither does Montreal and look at them go.

On the one hand I really wouldn’t be that surprised but on the other hand, who?
Anyway, Tkachuk + 12th OA + Zary for Eichel. Fax it in.

He was supposed to be healed last year, then went down again for the exact same thing. Not interested
