This is not going to be a simple team. And a team giving up a ton of cap space will also be reluctant to give up premium multiple picks and prospects for taking on so much space.

Tkachuk has value to be sure, but it's not like he is still on his ELC.
I think it is going to be a given that the Flames will be taking on cap to get a good return. If they are deadset on not taking back cap then they might as well wait for the deadline.
