The Flames really have some good contracts, honestly.

Tkachuck's not getting 7.5.
He'll get Monahan's deal, or very close. Maybe a little more, 6.5. He's coming out of entry level & has no leverage other than holding out. He's a great player, but he's not elite ...yet.
If anything, treliving has proven to be a shrewd GM when it comes to signing players where he has control.
