I love having Tkachuk on our team and it was entertaining watching him put up his crazy 100+ point season. But now that puts the Flames in a real tough spot. The dollars he will command on a long term will never live up to what he will produce for us when it matters in the playoffs. If he were a 7-8 million player that could work but a player that lands in the 9-10.5 mill range needs to be a guy that can drive plays and always be that threat. Chucky is a fun player but I don’t see him as that guy. Fresh thoughts magnified by a horrible performance in the last 4 games and most of the Dallas series.
