Not if we don’t trade Tkachuk before next year ends. Either we trade him now or at the deadline, but Tkachuk is gone.

He's an rfa. So we're gonna get what he's worth if he walks.




Also, zadorov walked. Bless.

What a great time to be alive.

UFA next year though. Fuck it, trade him now for the epic return while he’s a 100 point player. He ain’t coming back, so let’s just move on now.

Would you even get much? For rights? I dunno. Seen allot of lackluster trades like that over the years. But it's obv the best thing you can do

Anyone who expected Johnny to actually stay is insane.

From the beginning the narrative was that he wanted to play elsewhere

Good riddance, other than put up regular season points he really hasn't given the flames what they've needed

Last years team is the best Flames team I've seen on the ice since 91/92 ish and it wasn't enough

You would get full value even signed to a 1 year deal and pending UFA. The team would be trading for him under the assumption they can resign him long term

Sure sounds to me like Johnny had a little grudge going on. His last contract was a rough negotiation, which ended up with him underplayed for several years. Gaudreau tweeted something cryptic about betrayal afterwards. Treliving told him nobody could make more than the captain, and died on that hill. Then after Johnny signed, he signed Tkachuk for more than Gio pretty quickly afterwards.

Fast forward 6 years, Johnny waits until 24hrs before UFA to tell Tre his plans.

Just a guess. Super shitty anyway. Move Tkachuk now. Losing both for nothing would be gross mismanagement. I’m sure Tre knows that. Pain.

Vegas knows that

Spoke NHL source on Gaudreau choosing CBJ over Isles: “Great place to live. John Davidson does great job selling vision. LI? Not a destination location, and vision? Chance of truly contending over those 7 years?” - aka: Lou can’t sell vision. Next 7 yrs not being bought into

Lmfao

Johnny basically went full Tavares on your team, then took a shot at the Islanders while at it. Did he get possessed by Tavares?
