Less than a week after losing Johnny Gaudreau, the team now very much appears on the brink of having to part withThat’s the most reasonable way to interpret news late Monday that the Flames have filed to take Tkachuk to salary arbitration.
If so, the only difference between him and his U.S. compatriot, Gaudreau, is that Tkachuk is being far more forthcoming on his intentions than Johnny Ohio was. If the U.S.-born Tkachuk is simply looking to return stateside, or to a bigger market, surely he and the Flames would work together to try making it happen.Arbitration hearings don’t begin until July 27, and run through Aug. 11, but if Tkachuk goes through that process he can’t negotiate an extension until Jan. 1, 2023.The fear of an offer sheet is likely minimal, as it would be for a one-year offer.
Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk, right, celebrates his goal with teammate forward Johnny Gaudreau during third period NHL second round playoff hockey action in Calgary, Wednesday, May 18, 2022. The fact that Calgary is far from his St. Louis roots, is across a border and is devoid of a modern rink doesn’t help the Flames’ cause.Within the next week or so, this franchise could look dramatically different.There was some good news for Flames fans Monday afternoon.
