The Flames have traded two 1st round picks in the last four years - they have Hamonic, Hanifin and Lindholm to show for it.
If someone gave Tkachuk a mega deal (which he is not worth), the Flames could use 1st round picks to address organizational holes for the next four years while still picking on Day 1. They can be in on rentals at the deadline. They can trade up at the draft. They can do a lot of things.
It won't come to that - anyone who'd give that sort of deal to Tkachuk would just give it to Marner first, and Toronto is in a much poorer position to match an offersheet like that than Calgary.
