^ Exactly. Things change

I viewed the 3 year bridge as an act of good faith by Tre. A fair bridge under a cap crunch, which allowed them to use a couple million of cap space short term to keep players, with a guaranteed 9 as the starting point for the QO. Keep Tkachuk on the ice and kick the can down the road

It had risk and blew up spectacularly.

Tkachuk can’t have it both ways. He can’t not want to be responsible for someone leaving, then throw shade at them for not committing (if that’s what he did. I am not sure him saying he would have loved to sign long term (albeit lip service, perhaps) equates to ‘3 years? #### you for not believing in me’)

I really think there were a lot of factors. Gaudreau, Covid, and Sutter being top 3. Not in that order

At any rate, it’s over. He is gone. The GM is gone. The coach is gone

I will enjoy the work he is doing now, and look forward to a better Flames team next year
