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

I could see that. Not McTavish, but maybe Comtois, Zellweger, protected 1st and some salary considerations.
Anaheim is a good fit if Calgary felt alright dealing him within the division.

Sadly, it's not even like the Flames can get top value trade wise. As mentioned he will only sign longer term with a team of his choosing or he can simply wait a year. Flames are in a no win situation here. No idea if it is Sutter related, but GM's have to be aware that players today are different. They won't tolerate playing for an old school coach when they have options.
Man that sucks for Flames fans. Reminds me of when Briere and Drury left. Hasn't been the same since. That's too bad, I love seeing that arena rocking in the playoffs.

Agreed .. the NHL owners need to secure themselves an NFL style franchise tag in their next contract negotiations with the players. It's pretty ridiculous that two big time players can engineer their exit from a franchise with two weeks of one another.

If we never draft another American, it will be too soon.

Devils say hell no. Bratt is better than Tkachuk.

As optimistic as I am as a Devils fan talking about Jersey and then mentioning super teams is pretty ridiculous. Like we haven't even sniffed a playoff spot recently

Ottawa fan says no thank you.
I want Tanev if the Flames are going full rebuild. We have enough expensive forwards, we need to improve our D.

When has a team ever lost 2 100 point players in the same offseason?
Oof.
Oof.

We turned down the 2nd overall pick and cost ourselves Shane Wright.

Treliving looks pretty dumb right now for letting both of these negotiations table in the same summer.
Granted how much he was really able to do about Gaudreau certainly seems questionable.
1A. Anaheim - tons of young talent on the same timeline. The Zegras/Tkachuk pairing would be absolutely lethal
Nah, we need Sanderson in Ottawa, concensus seem to be we need Sanderson to come as advertized AND add a top 4 D to be a playoff team this year and maybe a contender for the cup in a couple of years. Trading Sanderson ++ for MT seems like a bad deal and willput us in cap problems very soon...
But GMBT was so smart about itWe turned down the 2nd overall pick and cost ourselves Shane Wright.

You might get one of those assets in a deal for a guy about to be paid $9m a year.
Jarmo was in the same situation with Jones and look at the haul he got. It can be done albeit it does not help that the artificial draft deadline has passed.
So glad we drafted Juolevi so we dont have to put up with this headache
As a Jets fan i feel for you guys, i really do. It piss's me off that Canada is the engine that runs the NHL and we can't keep our players on our teams.
The best fit is the Kraken but they need to keep their picks and prospects
There are 3 teams that makes sense and have cap space however I am not sure Tkachuk would extend with them
1) The Sabres
2) The Coyotes
3) The Islanders
The next tier where Tkachuk might extend and they have cap space but I am not sure it makes sense
1) The Red Wings
2) The Ducks
3) The Devils
