Do you really think Colorado intends to offer sheet Tkachuk in the sense that what pressures the Flames potentially somewhat undermines their own position with Rantanen?

Well that hardly answers my question. I think it’s unlikely that anyone offer sheets Tkachuk but Colorado is the team that I think he would be ok playing for and they have some semblance of cap room.
Could they clear enough room to sign Rantanen and Tkachuk to nearly identical long term deals?
As for Sakic being “old school” and not behaving like Dubas, that’s not really on point. Dubas hasn’t signed any offer sheets and frankly isn’t relevant to this discussion. I don’t know Sakic well enough to say whether he’d do it. Other than in general, I think offer sheets are a long shot.
