The Matthews contract is like the Gaudreau contract. With Gaudreau the Flames got one UFA year, with Tkachuk at least it ended before he became a UFA so you could figure it out this summer and deal him. Matthews deal walks him right up to UFA status and you can't really trade him before he becomes a UFA since you're a contender.
