This account (don't believe it's official) named Flames Fans Central claims to have "sources in the media" and says the Tkachuk contract is all but done, I'm not on Twitter much so I can't say much about how reputable the guy is or his posting history but it seems relevant enough to drop here.
Wouldn’t shock me in the slightest. I’ve thought for a while that the deal is mostly penciled in, and that the flames don’t want anything official until they move some cap off the roster. As soon as they announce a deal they may lose some leverage if the Tkachuk deal puts them in a tight cap spot (it likely will). The flames would obviously prefer to keep as much leverage in trade discussions for Brodie and Frolik as possible

I could be overthinking it however; I’ve had a long day of driving home from BC To think about things 😂
