If we're just assuming that by 2022 the Flames have lost everyone else but Tkachuk, that just means it's all the more important to get Tkachuk signed long-term in my opinion. Either build around him or trade him but letting him leave as UFA would be a disaster.
However, if Point is making this much, Tkachuk should come at a pretty significant discount and if it means getting him signed or not, I guess I'd finally relent and give him a 6M for 3 year type contract. Still hope 1-2 or 6-8.
