Speculation: Matthew Tkachuk MEGA Thread (informs Flames he will not sign long term)

[HarrySPlinkett]

To be fair at the time didn't it look like JG would be staying? (I suppose he hadn't put pen to paper but based on my understanding, it looked like he was going to lock in)

When the 2nd overall pick was on the table, they should’ve gone back to both Tkachuk and Gaudreau and said “in or out?” and faxed them the contracts.

If they say no, have fun in Newark.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Or jersey can just offer sheet him for $9-9.5 and only give up two firsts a second and third while keeping their top prospects

Well if they offer sheet him, the Flames can match, and then he’s stuck here.

They might not match if they need to get rid of him.

No, they can't.

Can't offer sheet anymore

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

They don’t need to get rid of him. He’s told then he’s not extending.

He can’t accept an offer sheet at this point anyway, but Calgary would love to have Tkachuk at 7x$9.5

Of course they don’t need to get rid of him but when he’s not extending it would make sense to get rid of him now and get full value.
I now know that it’s too late for offer sheets

Honestly, the over the top COVID rules/regulations etc Canada had in place caused some of this. If this was 3 years ago, i honestly think CGY has a better chance at keeping both guys.



Reular people cna choose where they want to live/work, so its only fair.



They would have to apply for it, or their mom would have had to do it when they were born.

I see the Covid restriction stuff, but I don't see it impacting the Jays which has even more vocal people within the sport (just look at the Royals roster this weekend). Robbie Ray wanted to stay, but Gausman took the offer first, who were the two of the three biggest UFA pitchers last year, and they weren't giving Seiman that deal.

I'm with you on Jarvis but Morrow is off the table for me too being that he is going to be as good as Makar.

As much as it's obvious Morrow's floor as a player is Cale Makar, I think Carolina would have to pull the trigger on this. Tkachuk is just that good.

Deadline for Tkachuk to accept an offer sheet has passed. That's potentially one of the reasons Calgary elected for arbitration, to create that deadline and prevent him from signing elsewhere.

 

[Glorydays22]

To me, if I'm Calgary and decided I have to move Tkachuk. I'm not going to the Blues. I'm going to the Devils and getting a bunch of those young players.

Think of the package the Devils can give - a combo of a few of these guys...plus a pick
Mercer
Bratt
Holtz
Sharangovich
Mukhamadullin
Bahl
Zetterlund

Can't wait for Columbus to trade for him.

 

[Zenos]

As an Oilers fan, I know I'm supposed to revel in Calgary's misfortune - but man, it's been a rough stretch for Flames fans lately and I just can't bring myself to kick them while they're still down. I feel sorry for you guys!

The battle of Alberta is at its best when both teams are strong and going full-tilt. Hopefully they can manage this situation well.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Send him to Toronto. Tkachuk-Matthews-Marner would be the best line in hockey.

 

[ranold26]

something surrounding...

David Pastrnak
for
Matthew Tkachuk

 

[kaddy]

As a Flames fan, trading a him is going to be sad. We should get a ton for him in the end.

24 years old coming off a 42 goal and 104 point season. That's not including all the intangible assets he brings other than scoring.

This guy was supposed to be our future captain and lead the team.

 

[brew 4 life]

Just a thought ? Boston: David Pastrnak 6.6 million 1year Brandon Carlo 4.1 for 5 years- Calgary : Matthew Tkachuk RFA signs 9-10 Million Boston gets a power forward?

 

[crazyfisherman]

I'd ask for a trade now if I were Markstrom... I'd be livid if I were him

He has no right to say anything after how he played

 

[al secord]

McDavid starting to feel bad he destroyed an entire franchise.

One Alberta team destroyed his chance at happiness, so he took it out on the other.

It's time to trade in your Oilers jersey for a Flames one.

This would be the worst off season in flames history I would have to think of this also happenend. I guess depending on the return.

Is there any package the Sens could put together to put him with his brother? That would be a wrap on the off season for the sens. Not sure what that package would look like or if they could afford him with what his cap will end up being

He's looks pretty happy to me

 

[Maurice of Orange]

What’s the update on a new Arena in Calgary.

I guessing none of the younger kid wanna play in a dusty old barn.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Vegas will be in. They want the cup.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Now post the pic of him after he was drafted.

Nah. The day Theo Fleury left was truly the saddest day in Flames history. Fleury was the heart and soul, a hockey icon for a decade when he got traded. Gaudreau not so much.
