Right, but then the team must also convince the player that he wants to play in CBJ for +5 years. Sure, it's possible, but I really don't see it as likely that Tkachuk signs to play there unless they make an offer that is far in excess of what the Flames are negotiating. I suspect any offer would have to be +10 m on a five-year term.
