Not to mention almost all teams in this kind of cap era can go up and down the standings in a hurry. 4 firsts over 4 years is almost certainly 1 or 2 years of lottery picks. Very few teams set up to give tkachuk a contract the flames can't match without signing him to a bad deal that potentially cripples their cap at some point
