Honestly we should be more worried about losing a Rittichih or Bennett to an offer sheet than Tkachuk. Tkachuk is one of our franchise players and the Flames simply won’t lose him and likely match anything.
A team could look at Bennett and see a potential first line player in a new situation and offer him $5M per which would be tough for the Flames to match. The same with Rittich maybe he gets 6x6 similar to Hellybuxk and that would put the Flames in a tougher spot to match.
I don’t see a team offering Tkachuk more than $11M per and it thick the Flames match anything less than the 4 1sts.
The same with other teams with multiple high end RFA’s. The Jets should be more worried about Connor or Trouba than Laine.
