Not a bust or overpaid and ELCs come in at a standard three year length.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Great. Excited to see what he brings to Camp, as he seems determined to make the NHL.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

He hasn't even played a game yet and he gets a three year contract? Damn Flames...

 

[SI90]

He's a great fit for them.

Pretty sure top 10 draft picks getting signed to ELCs the summer after the draft isn't really all that unprecedented.

 

[oilwave]

Dang that goes into his 20s, gonna regret that one by the back half of the deal.

it's a running joke, from @Nhlflyera on twitter.

Pretty sure sarcasm on HFBoards isn't really that unprecedented.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Good to see Calgary get his ELC done quickly, he's gonna be a tremendous fit with Sam Bennett. Watch out for this kid, he's gonna make the NHL come October, book it.

 

[tsujimoto74]

He's a great fit for them.

Yup. Gaudreau-Monahan and Tkachuk-Bennett...Flames top 6 is looking good long-term. Really nice mix of skill, two-way play, and grit there.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not surprised it was done quickly

Yeah I'm not really up on what passes for humor around here however.

Hope Tkachuk has a better main camp showing than dev camp.

 

[Jetabre]

Future bust...............................*Sarcasm stamp for the sarcastically challenged*

 

[Whiston532]

Not gonna lie. With us getting pool party and Calgary taking Tkachuk I'm excited to see a bit of a competition between the two.

 

[RedHot]

I think jokes are supposed to be funny

 

[Seattle Totems]

It still burns me that the Flames got to pick this guy.

 

[dss97]

He's a great fit for the flames, I was hoping somehow they'd pass him up.

 

[Boumsalot]

word

 

[Zippy316]

Not a fan of the term, to be honest. One year too much.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Not shocked at the dollar value but the term for 3 years with a guy who has 0 points in professional leagues.

Hopefully it pays off for the flames

What you did there...

I see it.

It's a pretty common occurrence with early 1st rounders

 

[SEALBound]

Like the $$$ but not the term.

 

[nostalrius]

Horrible value for a completely unproven player.
