Lately I can't help but wonder if a one year deal makes a lot of sense here.

Calgary signs Tkachuk to an AAV that fits 2019-20 without moving out significant salary.

Calgary then has Frolik (4.5M), Jankowski(1.5M), Stone(3.5M), Hamonic(3.8M), Talbot (2.75M) all coming off the books in 2019 with only Tkachuk and Andersson as RFAs of real note (and maybe Kylington if he can be permitted to take the next step). Of course part of that rides on Rittich proving himself as a starter allowing us to pennypinch on his backup.
