It became obvious the Flames weren't able to offer him an AAV that would allow them to start the season with an intact roster. The Flames most certainly did not want a 3 year term for Tkachuk, but it's the only thing that was available to them because of the lack of cap space.
Of course Tkachuk agreed to that deal, he gets 9 million in 2 years and then signs as a free agent anywhere he wants a year after that.

Or he signs a long term extension...or he gets traded. Lots of options other than the sky is falling.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
