If it was me it would be hard to turn down a 7 or 8 year deal though to gamble on one season where you could get injured or have a really bad year. I think of Vanek turning down the extension with the Islanders.
But I completely agree that is a risk/deal I would not be okay with the Flames doing with Tkachuk.
