If Tkachuk sits, the Flames can dangle Brodie, a 1st, and $11m in cap space. I expect that package can get you a heck of a player for the top 6.
The alternative is probably moving Frolik for beans, and paying Tkachuk $8-9m. Which I'm not convinced is a better option, and is also a clear downgrade on what I agree is a bit of a thin top 6.
Just saying that the huge cap hit that Tkachuk is eyeing up is also a big asset for the Flames if he chooses to sit.
