It's tough to not be a bit jaded when a drafted players chooses not to sign with your team. Also, Tkachuk acted in his own self interest to get a great long term deal in a destination of his choice.
But we have seen plenty of RFA disputes go bad and ultimately screw the team. Tkachuk, the agent, and the Flames all deserve praise from getting this done quickly with a W for all parties.
