I do understand you may have difficulties following a topic.
Summary - There is a lot of disappointment in the play of Tkachuk no matter what he is getting paid.
My opinion he is still playing at a high level but is not as far ahead of his team mates as he was last year.
If you are going to argue that the NHL economy then you must be even extra bewildered when the Flames out bid the rest of the league signing 2 31 year olds for 10M for the next 4 seasons.
