Most people agree the Flames need a rebuild because we don’t have elite players. Zary is barely a top 50 prospect and 12 vs 16 overall pick is really same type of player
Tkachuk is young and doesn’t have a ntc but he has major contract issue. Unfortunately at least half the league should be as concerned as we are about those contract issues. There might only be a handful of teams he would resign with this summer long term for a reasonable deal. Age becomes irrelevant if the player is near ufa and has a 0 interest in signing with your team. Sorry there is not 31 teams lining up to pay for him because of this. Unless the rumours are wrong but treliving would know this and if he trades Tkachuk it’s because he wants out
Is fox worth a 2nd? Nope but it’s a good return when he has his own agenda on who he plans to play for
