If other teams know this, won't St. Louis know this too? Pretty sure his dad will know Matt's intentions.
How much will the Blues be willing to give up to get Matt two years early if they know full well he's theirs in the summer of 2023? My guess is not very much.
If.....IF....Matt intends on going to the Blues when he hits free agency, the Flames are pretty much screwed given the inside track the Blues most surely have through Keith.

Two Stanley Cups will be handed out in that time frame. Hundreds of trades, signings, and other transactions will occur. Tkachuk himself is going to play 160 plus games. Billions in revenue will be generated.
Two years is a long time. Even if Tkachuk has his eye there he and we have no idea what's going to happen between now and then.
Tkachuk has plenty of value. Possibly to St Louis, certainly to the Flames, and to many teams across the league. Even if was guaranteed to be gone after two years (which is false) its still two full years.
