If the Tkachuk rumour is fake the Flames will have already cleared that up with Matthew.
He's not going to begrudge the team for Weekes posting some fake nonsense.

Potentially crush all value in your RFA? No thanks. Why would they do that. Take him or leave him or deal with Vegas’s crap.

To me our “chemistry” is Sutter. Pretty close to the same line up as last year and their “chemestry” was questioned all year.

Elite centres are worth far more than elite wingers. It's the most important position on the ice.

I guess we should close the thread, since you have made your pronouncement.

Not at all.

If it is BS like Friedman speculated I have zero doubt the Flames were quick to inform everyone in the Tkachuk camp this is BS.
There is a big part of me that thinks this is all BS from Buffalo to get Vegas back to the table. Lots of pressure to close it so it needs to be done soon

the hold up is probably trying to find players that are willing to play in Buffalo.

Including Tkachuk would be something. I am kinda liking it…
I would sooner have Eichel at $10 than Tkachuk at $9 (plus maybe?).
Of course that would depend on why the other pieces are…

a) no, because Eichel is worth it and this team needs an elite #1 centre to win a championship and this seems to be the only way without tanking to acquire one
b) don't care at all about impact on team chemistry. This team has played 9 good games after years of crap. They haven't earned the right to be protected.
c) what comes next if we miss out on Eichel? Probably just same ol same ol. Mediocrity mixed with a dash of excitement every half decade.

I still believe Monahan makes a comeback, but that's a no brainer.

There's no reason to inform Tkachuk that he's not a part of these discussions, or if he is. And even if they did inform him, there's certainly no motivation for them to tell him the truth.
"Media speculation, Matthew. Nothing more."

Tre offers Monahan for Eichel. Adams has Weekes leak that Tkachuk is part of the package to get Vegas to up their offer. Vegas stands pat as Tkachuk rumors are squashed. Everyone back to square one. The circus goes on.
