1 year at close to market is an olive branch if they can’t meet term and dollar numbers now
I have said all along, the negotiation is all about establishing market value and agreeing to term. I don’t expect Tkachuk to take under market value. The Flames have every right to only offer a short term contract which carries risk for both sides.
