I actually think the odds of this are quite high, and it's probably for the best for everyone. The only way I see the Flames keeping Gaudreau is if they offer a contract he can't refuse. If Johnny leaves, why would Tkachuk want to stay? Unless the Flames have some miracle season, I just don't see anything enticing for these guys to want to stay. And I think it's best for both parties. The Flames desperately need a rebuild, and these guys get to go chase whatever is important to them. It's a win/win in a way other than the fact that you probably lose them for pennies on the dollar.
