I'm just saying the guy is known to be dogged and thorough so I'm guessing he has a multiple option plan in the works that will get him cap compliant.
He certainly not just picking up the phone in two weeks when Tkachuk signs and starting the process then.

I have no doubt he is exploring every angle possible.
I also imagine there's a scenario which is entirely internal. That is, run with reduced roster size, send certain guys down to save cap room etc. I have already said how much I hate the reduced roster size idea, but at this point I do believe you need a fall back option that doesn't depend on someone else.
Just my opinion, I wish he would make the best deal possible before we get too deep into camp. Whether its Jankowski, Frolik or something else. And then get the Tkachuk deal done.
Surely Flames must know within $500K of where a Tkachuk deal will land by now? They might be further apart than that, but I have to believe they can at least see the finish line.
