Tkachuk's contract is complex, he's got one more year after this and is RFA, but we know about the leverage he has. I'm nervous about the Flames committing dollars and term for him and they will have to pay through the nose to keep him.
I kind of feel like I'd rather take ROR for the two years guaranteed and maybe try and extend him afterwards. If he's anything like Bergeron, he'll still be good in his mid 30's.
You would think having ROR, Lindholm, Backlund down the middle would suit Sutter just fine for the next two seasons.

Would St Louis be interested in trading their Selke award winning #1 center who’s lead the team in scoring since he arrived there? I would suspect he’s as untouchable as it gets. It took St. Louis forever to find themselves an elite #1 center, then they finally do and they go on to win the Stanley Cup.
I don’t think Doug Armstrong wants to do the Flames any favors here. He’ll look to throw us anchors for Tkachuk just like he did to the Sabres.
