I think Tkachuck will be better than Klimchuck but right now I don't know. Tkachuck is good but hasn't been special at all. He isn't doing anything that really stands out to say he's a top 6 player yet and I think he has it in him but he still needs work. Bringing up someone else is smart IMO because maybe there is someone who is ready and just needs a shot to make it.

The Flames aren't contending this year with or without Tkachuck, this isn't about his contract, it's about his development. He just isn't ready.
