Yes, Tkachuk has that smirk in him but he has to show that he is the tough guy. He didn't understand that he didn't need to fight to show his toughness.

Honestly, responding like that to an agent makes me like him more.

It’s Joel Farabee - like, there’s nobody in your way, kid. Be better.

6'4", 220lbs, skates well, physical, hits to hurt, excellent shot, 52 points last year, plays RW, intimidating force, one of the toughest fighters in the league, can kill penalties.....

You're right, who wants THAT???

Tom Wilson on the flames would be amazing. Him vs the Oilers in a playoff BOA? Thats what flames fans dreams are made of.

Cheap shots to intentionally injure, you mean.

That's the part people don't like.

Like any player who plays on the edge, sometimes they go over it.

That being said, you want all those kinds of guys on your team if you can get them as they make your club much harder to play against because they can play the game any way needed.

Not sure if Wilson is the same player he was after injuries, but if he is, its a no-brainer to get him if your team can afford it.

Yeah this was awesome. Haven’t fans been barking for more candid interviews for years?

Sure, we should just ignore his previous dirty plays, head hunting, late hits, and suspension history.

Yes, but then they asked him about the Oilers.

Everyone would, but that's not his whole list, is it?
Conveniently left off what he's known for most.

Kane earned a NMC and so he gets to choose where he goes. Remember, Jarome Iginla did the same thing, except he changed the team at the last minute.

There was an article in the Athletic that interviewed Aaron Ward and Ray Shero.

It wasn't Iggy changing last minute it was Ward being used to jump the gun to get Pittsburgh to up their offer.

Considering the grabage we got its horrifying to think what was the initial offer.

Well we changed our tune pretty quick on Kadri so I’m guessing fans would embrace him
