If the team agrees to the arbitrator's award, Tkachuk has to take it (or be void of contract I assume and suspended for the year or however those rules work).
If both agree to the arbitrator's deal, then he's a Flame until next summer where he'll be a UFA, and the entire season's really awkward...
OR, they agree to a long term deal and either keep him or trade him eventually.
That about the sum of the circumstances?

Pretty much. Just takes away Tkachuk's option to sign his one year QO and find a trade partner.
