It's Keith Tkachuk's son, I guessed the minute he was drafted he wasn't going to be a lifer in one spot. But he handled it well, was a pro, was honest and upfront with the team and gave them a chance to work with it. Gotta respect that.
He's smart, he knew his best chance for a good contract was to sign one this year so didn't want to wait until UFA to do it. But he made it public he'd like to re-sign with his new team to also keep his trade value for the Flames. I can't be mad at that, the guy owes us nothing and it all worked out well for everybody
