So what, give him the 5 years and if he’s wanting out trade him in year 3. If the player is going to he’s going to go.
Calgary has him controlled for 5 years as an RFA. They can’t force the issue beyond that. Analyze and adapt or you let one of your best assets sit and further sour the situation which everyone losses in that situation
Thank you! This is the one thing I don't get. Say you give Matt Tkachuk a 5 year, 9 million dollar AAV contract. Relative to his age and production, that is still one of the best assets in the NHL. Worst case, if things are going sour and you think he is going to leave in UFA, you don't think some team will give up something significant for a 26-27 year old near PPG player?
Yes. the Flames give Matt Tkachuk exactly what he wants in this situation, sure. But a cost controlled PPG young player that's already at an All-Star Level is one of the best assets for the Flames moving forward.
