Also FYI... Tkachuk won’t re-sign in Calgary when he hits UFA. He wants to play in St. Louis. Francis has dropped this nugget many times already.

Yes, that is Francis's schtick as far back as I can remember. Always trying to drive the best talent out of town. I have a Sun cutout somewhere after I had wrote him in the 90's blasting him for his constant attacks on Fleury and he printed it. He is toxic to the organization and I have no idea why they talk to him let alone employ the guy. If Gaudreau goes he will be beating that Tkachuk wants out drum for all he is worth. If he goes it will be another star for the Flames. It is what he does.
