I think I'll be surprised if both Tkachuk and Gaudreau don't re-sign here. Would either sign with another team for the most money alone, I don't think so and if they do go elsewhere it would be to an actual contender.
They're both in their prime and maybe even past their apex, not by much but still. The only thing really left for them is to win a cup and they can do it here, this is their team.
There's also the Jarome Iginla angle, he played most of his career here and made it to the Hall of Fame so I would think that would be something to consider as well, plus Lanny and Theo as well as others. It's quite possible to win in Calgary plus a new arena coming.
