Don’t get me wrong, I’ll rip him during a game, but no player departure has ever been with such mutual consideration.
Thanks Matty.

Tkachuk didn't lead the Flames on that he wanted to re-sign here and then stiff them at the last minute. That is a real jerk move.
However, to say he was being considerate is ridiculous. He was looking out for #1 all along. He had a great season under Sutter and realized he was never getting a bigger pay day than now. He has a very short list of teams he would go to. Tkachuk was taking care of himself and didn't care what happened to the Flames sinking ship.
Treliving was the one who somehow turned this brutal hand into a royal flush. Tkachuk doesn't deserve any credit for helping the Flames.
