I think Tkachuk is going to re-sign long term with the Flames and will be the future captain. I've just got a gut feeling that he's a very smart business minded guy and realizes that now is his time to sign a lucrative long-term deal. I also think he likes the Flames with or without Johnny and will throw a huge hit next time they play against each other.
The best two options for Tkachuk are a long term deal with the Flames or a sign and trade. Anything else is a major loss for Tkachuk after the year he's had.
My guess is 9.7 x 8.
