If Tkachuk did not accept his QO the Flames and Tkachuk would have negotiation period until such a time that they lost his rights by turning 27. Sure he would need to
hold out, but they would have years to negotiate.
More realistically, if he did not accept his QO they have the remaining summer through pre-season to negotiate.
Now they have just a couple weeks before a contract is thrusted upon them.
So it could be the opposite, that it’s limited their negotiation period.
