If I were the Flames, I'd offer 8*6 and see if the Tkachuk camp would be willing to sign now. Unfortunately, Tkachuk's camp would probably smell blood and demand more. But I'd really want to just get a contract done before next season if I were the Flames. I think Tkachuk will have a big season. He might get 65 points.

"Might"? Tkachuk was scoring at a 60-point pace last year with a weaker supporting cast. I think chances are pretty strong that he gets close to 65 this season.
