Lionising what Tkachuk did is ridiculous. He was not doing the Flames a favour; he was accelerating his departure, providing himself the immediate opportunity to play in his chosen location, while also taking advantage of his only chance to sign an eight-year deal. I don't begrudge him at all for using the system like he did to his advantage. But by the same token, neither am I naive enough to believe that his actions were for the benefit of anyone but himself.
