Teams are going to need to look at setting up for 3 year stretches and then selling off to the guys who are rebuilding when contracts are expiring. This is exactly what the Flames are doing and the next 3 years they are set with very little to worry about contract wise. Depending on Tkachuk the Flames may have 0 7 million dollar players for at least 3 years when the league already has 33 and many more coming. To me 3.5 is borderline bottom pairing money these days.

Players are looking for more cash because of a looming work action that could cause the loss of another season.
