Tkachuk can look at someone like Nylander - who got paid but had a terrible season - and decides if he wants to do that.
And the Flames will have to make a similar determination.
Someone will have to blink.
I suspect the Flames want either a 3 or 7 year deal
Tkachuk wants a 5.
It'll end up being 6.

I could see 6 x 8.5m AAV . I also don’t think Tkachuk cares that Nylander had a bad season. All he’ll care about is that the holdout worked, and Nylander got paid.
