I think Tkachuk would be very smart to try and secure a 6-8 year deal with the Flames or someone else this summer. He had an absolute beast of a year scoring 40+ and 100pts+. No guarantee he will hit those numbers again and going $9M QO and if he doesn’t get puckluck or gets hurt he could hurt his value. Cash in on the career year and if you don’t want to stay here he has the ability to force a deal.
If he has his heart set on one team it is tough but if he is open to several markets then I think the Flames can make it work. If he wants to stay here then the team should make it happen.
