If he wants a big 8-year deal now, he can only get it from the Flames. That's the nature of being a restricted free agent. If he wants to gamble on a bigger 7-year deal a year from now, he will have that right. That's the nature of being an unrestricted free agent.

You're right. I guess there would have to be talks between Tkachuk and the Blues to get assurances before giving up such assets. And there's no such news from insiders as you said.
