The reason Tkachuk isn't valuable is because of the stupid 3 year contract he is under which has a $9mil qualifying offer. If he was signed to a better second contract with term the Flames could get something for him.
That terrible contract is what should get Treleiving fired.

Yeah, this is where I draw the line for Treliving.
Tkachuk should be the most valuable asset in the organization, but he isn't. Lindholm is.
And it's all because of the fact that Tkachuk can be UFA by 25.
The priority should be signing the young guys to long term deals, then use remaining cap space to fill out depth here and there.
Treliving seems to prefer spending picks/cap space on small holes, then signing young guys to short deals.
I don't agree with that kind of cap and asset management.
