I don’t doubt Tkachuk when he says he wants to win and be a big part of it but I don’t think it’s the same way as MacKinnon or Crosby who took their teams on their backs literally, especially MacKinnon.
I think Tkachuk passed on a great opportunity here and we’ll see if Huberdeau signs or passes as well cause the Flames still have a good team here.
Also MacKinnon still under 7m in his final year before free agency and Crosby under 9m in his contract. Those are the types of players you pay the big money to. That’s why so few teams wanted Gaudreau, they just don’t want to give those big deals to guys they doubt can win it for them.
