You might be right about what Tkachuk values, the Flames theoretically should have known that and dealt with the asset accordingly. I suspect if the Flames trade him it will be an underwhelming return for a 24 year power forward who put up 100 points. Not signing or trading last summer left the Flames in a worse position this summer with this asset.
