so an update from Blues athletic writer. I am pretty sure most Flames fans will hate the package being proposed here.

Quote:
This is where it gets interesting: The Blues have expressed interest in Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk, a St. Louis native, according to sources. The Flames aren’t looking to trade him Tkachuck summer but might be forced to by next summer, when he’s a restricted free agent, if he doesn’t want to be with the organization long-term. The Flames have interest in Dunn and may need a player like him sooner than later if they lose Mark Giordano in the expansion draft.
A package of Tarasenko, Dunn and either a high draft pick or a top prospect could be enough to bring Tkachuk home, a source said. Tkachuk’s AAV is $7 million next season, which is the final year of his deal. If they didn’t have to retain salary in the deal, the Blues would actually be saving cap space, especially since Dunn’s salary would be going the other way.
However, as one may surmise, Calgary is not on Tarasenko’s list.
That’s not to say that a deal would get struck if he approved; only that the possibility exists.

Also according to the article 8 of the 10 teams that are on Tarasenko's list:
NYR, NYI, VGK, BOS, PHI, TBL, WSH, FLA
