This sucks not only from the obvious talent level, but Calgary is losing two of the more interesting characters that made them interesting to watch.
Gaudreau as the tiny terror.
Tkachuk as the s--- disturber/agitator who actually had a hockey IQ to go with it.
It felt good having those kinds of stories on the team and played a big part in the sort of identity I saw the team having or what I loved about watching the Flames and being a fan.
