Still can't believe it. I thought when Steinberg announced today that JG had countered Flames last proposal that this would get done. My optimism clouded the signs and I definitely didn't want to believe what blowhards like Francis and Nault were spewing all the time.
Don't know where they go from here - definitely have to find out if Tkachuk will stay long-term. Not even sure that's the right move? If we blow it up and miss on top 2 next year could be in for a decade of pain (not that either of those 2 will guarantee success either). No arena on the horizon, Oilers peaking, etc.
I'm sure it all work itself out though.
