His trade value diminishes almost daily, not because of play but the clock on his contract. We have until the draft to figure out if he's in it for the long haul or if he wants to play somewhere else. After that almost all of the Flames leverage is gone. The contract was a steal when it was signed. But we're paying for it now with the lack of options. And because we really haven't progressed as a team.
I love Johnny, but if he and Tkachuk both come in at 9 we are straight up boned. Let someone else deal with that shazzam.

Both JG, and MT are not worth their current contracts, much less a raise. JG is almost a detriment to the team at 5 on 5 play, as is MT.
Trade if you can find a partner IMO.
