 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.

Like who?  Who that is actually available could replace Tkachuk and his 77 points....plus giving up yet another 1st
