If we don’t give him 8 years it will be 9 per or 7.5 for 8 years. He probably will hold out for the 8 years to get the extra 15 mil. Does anyone realize that all teams know this? Good luck signing him to exactly what your comfortable with
Tkachuk too. I was optimistic that he would be reasonable until rumours come out he wants out. Good luck getting him to ink for a good contract. Maybe the blues can but we aren’t

Johnny’s game will age significantly better than Schenn or Nuge in my opinion. I gladly give Tkachuk 8 years when his deal expires at 24 years old.
Let the Flames sign their own players to those deals like the did with Gio and Backlund and let’s avoid taking someone else’s mistake for our young superstar.
