NOT signing him would clearly be an indication they are sending a message that they are unwilling to pay him what he's asking even though they could if they wanted to.
When did I say that?

Man this is getting silly. All I said is an offer sheet is unlikely. That teams that have space, are attractive, don't have their own RFA issues or an internal budget are not plentiful.

Would the Flames be in a bind if they signed Tkachuk to a 8x10M contract? For sure. But so too would any team, even if they tried to free up the space before the offer sheet.
