Over losing Tkachuk? Absolutely.
What we lose having to fit that in is where it hurts the most, but if that contract has term it likely looks like a decent deal in a few years. An offer sheet like that would hamper the Flames significantly, but the loss of Tkachuk would alter the outlook of this team significantly.
They were talking about offer sheets on Hockey Central a few mins ago where they pointed out that it takes both sides to make an offer sheet happen ('they don't just show up in your inbox' they said). I know Keith was a hard negotiator, but I think things have to be going pretty poorly with Tre for Matthew to add an offer sheet to negotiations. Seems like too much of a team-guy to play that game
