I'm actually okay with this. As much as a unicorn Tkachuk is, I didn't want the Flames building around another winger as it's franchise cornerstone.

I appreciate that he was forthright in his intentions however, and gives the Flames an opportunity to recoup some assets.

While this off season has been a brutal one as a Flames fan, I will still cheer for them whole heartedly. Remember we are still a Sutter coached team. Now we just likely pivot to boring hockey. lol
