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.

I never said Tkachuks deal would also be 8 years. I bet nowhere near 8 years. What if it’s 9.5 for 4 or 5 years? Young superstar? Maybe young superstar is a bit bias comment as well. Schenn is an anchor but his numbers are pretty good over the last 3 years but Tkachuk is a superstar. Maybe an all star but right now he isn’t a top 25 player in the league and sounds like he wants out and probably holds the flames hostage in contract talks. He’s not mackinnon so I’m not giving him a blank cheque. Sorry he isn’t that good and his value has dropped if the rumours are true and factoring in his contract
Tarasenko will never score again schenn is an anchor but monahan will be fine after his surgery no concerns from his yearly off season surgeries and Tkachuk is a superstar now and he’s worth whatever he wants.
If we move these guys and want firsts and good young players we might have to take on a risky contract. Id prefer to take a chance on tarasenko because it’s short term and if we continue to suck maybe we can sell him off as a rental.
This team is not good enough and what it needs is a true young superstar or 2 to build around. We don’t have any right now
