Flames may need to add something else minor but I think the value is there for both teams.

I don't think this is that horrible for Calgary. Poor? Sure.
1 year of Forsberg + a mid-first round pick for 2 years of Tkachuk plus a third round pick.
With such a prominent Swedish culture on the Flames team, I could see Forsberg re-signing. I think Forsberg would excel on Calgary, and give a boost for the playoffs.
But overall, the value isn't quite where it should be. Nashville would have to add. And this trade doesn't make a ton of sense for Nashville, because they need to manage their cap wisely. I'm not sure it's in their best interest to give Tkachuk 9 mill next year. And if Nashville is retooling, they probably want picks more than they want to trade them away.
