What's a deal with Calgary for an extended Tkachuk look like? I'll start:

2023 unprotected 1st, Quinn or Savoie, and Samuelsson

Sounds like a prelude to a Tkachuk trade out of Calgary.
Have to maximize the return this time.
1st-rd pick, A-list prospect, promising young NHLer, older NHLer with high AAV to make the $$ work. That's the floor.
Maybe more for a 24-year-old who was 8th in NHL scoring.

He doesn't fit the timeline. He is turning 25 this year, but the time we are good, he will be almost 30.

It is clearly for fun, and it would be for an extended Tkachuk.

We should go sign that Larsson guy

50 point shut down 4th line centers are hard to come by

A player like this is once a generation

7x7

Might as well be Bergeron

It's fun, but with an extension, he has control over where he goes. Probably looking at Mark Stone trade value.

Tkachuk would block Quinn and Peterka

but not 1 artificial disk

wasn't a good look to players around the league, especially piling on everything Lehner had to say about their medical staff

- Lunaion


Wonder how the evaluation is going?
Is this another 24 month endeavor, like making trades is?

Throw them in too. Then sign OG cause he'll score more than the both of them.

Would you go over 8x7 for Larry? Do you think he'd take a hometown cut?

With team induced Arb, does that walk him to UFA status at the end of the term? He's only 24, but I don't know how Arb impacts that aspect.

He can accept a 1-year arb award and skip to St. Louis next year

No impact. He's only 24, but has 6 full seasons in the NHL. He'd be UFA next summer.

The mythical, never to happen trade would be for a long term extended Tkachuk.

I am failing to see the logic in the team taking him to Arb.
I know they get another year to try to negotiate a contract, but If UFA status is the result, why would he sign then and not now? Maybe they can work a trade over the next year? That would seem to ve high risk for the acquiring team.
