What was it that made Tkachuk reject Calgary?

Gaudreau, it would appear, was over Canada and the draconian covid rules that made his family life miserable. You wonder if the Flames execs and ownership group had as much trouble getting over the border as his wife and Mother-in-law.


Tkachuk's mom is from Winnipeg. She went bad to Winnipeg when the Atlanta wives and families relocated to help them adjust. His Dad was a pure mercenary... playing wherever would pay him the most.

Why did he want out of Calgary? Was it just the loss of Johnny Hockey?

Tkachuk at 24 8x9.5 >>>>>>>>>> Kadri 31 7x7 and that is just based on their play up to the time that they were signed.


Also how the the Flames mess up Bennett? Conroy was around when Bennett was stunted in Calgary to the point where they gave away. Did the Flames have any Bennett champions in their ranks?
