If we aren’t a playoff mainstay in 3 years time, and say a team like NJD takes a major step forward, I’d imagine it would pretty tempting for a guy like QH to want to join his brothers there. Hopefully if it ever came to that our players should show a bit more loyalty or appreciation that JG showed CGY for the time and money invested into him there The Huggable one has five more years on his contract.

He brings a unique skill set, and every team could use one of him. Plus, Calgary is a divisional rival and likely doesn't want to face Tanev 4x a year. BTW, Tanev is still injured and is not expected to be ready for training camp. Torn labrum, separated shoulder and sprained neck. He's a tough old bird but you have to wonder how many more serious injuries can he absorb and still comeback strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iiddddkkkkk Honestly though JG knew he was moving on, But left the flames in limbo till the night before FA. Moving on as a UFA is an earned right players have. No problem with it and I don't see that as not being loyal... But as long as our guys let the team actually know their true intentions and not pull a little Johnny I'm cool with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hometown" and "discount" are two words that have never existed in the Tkachuk family tree. That's unfair. They got a volume discount from the hometown food distribution center to feed the beached whale he calls dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In laws ranch was down that way. More importantly, are you building a home near the Lethbridge practice facility?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 32 minutes ago, Alflives said: Actually Matt Tkachuk is one of the top players in the league and paying him 10 per would be worth it. Benning, the idiot, made a lot of horrible mistakes, but drafting OJ over Matt Tkachuk was his worst. You're really underestimating the character issues. He's a gutless piece of garbage that no respectable locker room is going to put up with. He's no better than Messier and we dodged a bullet by not having that worthless scumbag disgracing our franchise. Perfect fit in Calgary with their inbred fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but our window to become a real threat should be 2-3 years. You need to give the superstars a show of success at least halfway into their contracts for them to believe it’s going to be a recurring event, imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Johnny, the Flames were legit contenders this year so there is little chance they would of moved JG at the deadline anyways. Maybe once playoffs were done, JG should of declared his attentions so Flames could get a pick for negotiating rights. My guess? JG knew for a long time that he was leaving Canada, and MT is doing the same thing. You got to think those two talked about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I wasn't implying they should move him while being a contender. But if he says hey Brad, I'm moving on in FA at the draft.. maybe they get a better package for the puke at that moment. I mean losing JG + MT and 1 of the main pieces coming back ( That #2 ) is Wright? Decent start to fix team anyways. Buuut as a flames hater I do prefer the route everyone's taking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to sniff 100 points again in his career. Fully expecting a 70 point season from him. Which is still very good, but not elite. No chance. He’s too volatile.
