I've reached the point where I firmly believe sitting out does more harm to Tkachuk and his career/earnings potential than it does to the flames chances this season. He's a great player but we can survive his hold out.
We already know he'll light up a swiss league if he goes there. He's definitely not even making close to as much money if he does. Then he can come back with hat in hand next season when he gets the same offer from Treliving (or maybe a worse offer) because he hasn't played with real nhlers in a full year.
