Flames probably would've made out okay if they retained Tkachuk and weren't forced into trading him too.
Really was the worst part about JG leaving.

Tkachuk was gone as soon as the playoffs ended and Sutter won the Jack Adams.
He set himself up well when his contract expired. The arrival of Sutter probably ended any chance of him staying anyways. He wants to be the face of the franchise, he wants to be in the news all the time with his antics and that was not going to happen here.
Now he might score 10 goals this year.
