Love Tkachuk but with a 9M minimum qualifying offer, and Johnny due for 10M+ how do fill out a bottom 6 and bottom 4 D with almost 0 dollars.
For clarification I want to keep both.

Treliving has stated he will move heaven and earth to get these deals done and it is on him it make it work. Johnny and Chucky are the cornerstone superstars of the team. Other teams have multiple $10M players and the flames are at the spot they need to do the same. These are the best homegrown players of the post Iginla era of the team and if they are willing to stay for 8 years each they need to make it happen.
Mangiapane could be a sacrifice. I can see Dube being a guy who is moved. Monahan and Lucic are the prime suspects but easier said than done.
Trading Tkachuk is an option but plan C or D
