IIRC there was a lot of talk about the Flames moving up from 6 to 3. Still early, but it's looking pretty astute to stay and 6 and pick the guy they got. I do think playing with Frolik and Backlund does help, but Tkachuk isn't causing those two any undue stress.
If anything, Tkachuk is driving play on his own merit. I'd like to see Backs bumped to Johnny's like a Frolik and Tkachuk don't need him. He helps for sure, but if like to see the wealth spread a little
