More money in his pocket sooner and more control of where he goes

As one poster corrected me, he is not guaranteed $9M for the one year. The Flames can choose a team elected salary arbitration instead of extending the $9M qualifying offer. In that case the arbitrator would reward at least 85% of Tkachuk's last year's salary+bonuses. This amounts to a minimum salary/cap of
$7.65M for one year.
