So they decided to go with cap certainty on a younger player. Roll of the dice on both sides but less so for the flames as tkachuk wasn’t going to sign anyway.

Sure I agree and understand it from their perspective that it isn’t just a 1 year thing
And I have no problem with the argument for next year JH may be better then MT either
I don’t think MT nor JH are superstars in these league - and that isn’t to knock them
A superstar to me can single handidly take over a game and carry the team on their shoulders . They are first ballot HoFers . Untradeables.
McKinnon, McDavid, Matthew’s, Makar, Hedman, Ovy, Crosby, Malkins - These are the superstars of the last 20 years (I know there’s more doing a quick list)
If JH does what he has done a few more seasons and has some playoff success he could enter the conversation as a later bloomer aka Marty St.L , he’s just not a superstar IMO yet
