The Flames had a lot of faith in Tkachuk. He didn't want to be here anymore. If he wanted to be here he's likely the captain making $10.5M per year.
My take is he wanted to go back to the states to a contender. When he saw Gaudreau leave he knew we weren’t one.

Not to mention +30 in Fla when it’s-30 here. As well as a better tax regime.
