That is not enough. Flames ask for Thomas in return as a start for tkachuk

That's awful for the Flames

Doubt CGY want Tarasenko if they move Tkachuk, would signal a tear down/rebuild so they'll want futures.

Not after that contract he just made, Thomas is not going anywhere. Kyrou's the more likely option.

I don't see Tarasenko being the guy though. Dude's a pending UFA, and CGY can't afford a star player do a Gaudreau to them again.

That doesn’t get Tkahuck but he’ll probably just sign there as a UFA in 2 years anyways

I don’t think the blues move Thomas after that 8x8 contract, and the reason the blues are even looking at tkachuk is because Thomas and tkachuk are buddies. So maybe kyrou

Much better tbh. I would say the package starts with a young guy who they can lock up for term and prospects + picks

CGY would have no interest in Tarasenko. They would be more interested in the assets we would get for him in a separate trade. We would need to add someone like Bolduc to complete it. I’m personally not opposed to moving Kyrou for him.



Delusional.

I can't see Rodrigues getting a contract less then Vatrano but ya never know

Not really, youre delusional if you think Thomas is more valuable than tkachuk.

It’s not about value, pay attention. We just extended him for 8 years.

And you could extend tkachuk for 8 years👍

He’s a UFA in 1 year

I agree that is not enough for Tkachuk. Thomas isn’t going anywhere though. I would start with Kyrou but know other Blues fans are going to disagree with me. Calgary doesn’t have a lot of leverage if he says he’s not signing there and says there’s only one place he will sign long term though…

Rumors around here getting louder btw...

Thats a massive reach

If you think there’s a team that is going to offer you a massive haul without Tkachuk agreeing to an extension as part of the trade - good luck. I’m sure it will work out just as swimmingly as Johnny Hockey did…

Johnny was part of the organization for 10 years. Not remotely comparable.

I don't doubt that teams would rightfully want to negotiate with him first, that has nothing to do with your hot take "there's only 1 place he will sign."

There is a lot of smoke in STL that he wants to come here but maybe it's all crap. They talk about it on the radio station that the Blues games are on constantly but again could all be pie in the sky or some other stupid saying. I do wish you and the flames well. Would absolutely suck to go through what you did last week.
