It's easier for other teams to make moves to open themselves up for an offersheet than it is for the Flames to sign Tkachuk to a contract that puts them over the cap only to then negotiate cap relief from another team.
Why do calgary any favours at that point? Why not ask for 2 first round picks for 2 million in cap relief? What's tre going to do, say no and start the season over the cap threshold?
