Tkachuk's contract has gotten some ire of late, but it was a different world back then. At the time, I think most fans thought it was a pretty reasonable contract...
As for Johnny, I am sure he is being earnest, however, cash is king... I think Brodie was more or less saying similar things at the same point in his contract as well.

I’ve heard many players, including Flames, say they fully intended to re-up, but then a deal just couldn’t get done.
