The Reddit insider that's been talked about a lot recently with a Tkachuk update:
Quote:
Flames offered Tkachuk $4.5 million on a long term deal. Tkachuk camp wants $7 million on a long term deal.
Sides weren't close and that is why they've decided to wait each other out. Still a good relationship and I think both sides aren't in a rush.
Realistically both sides a little extreme which is to be expected in negotiations. I think they settle close to $6.25 on a long term deal.

If true, a Flames lowball and Tkachuk's ask of $7M aren't insane in the slightest. A long term contract with an AAV starting with a 6 sounds pretty spot on.
