Report: Matthew Tkachuk wanted to extend with the Calgary Flames the summer before demanding a trade

  1. You have to wonder what the ask was. If he wanted $8 million for 8 years it would be idiotic not to sign him, but I could see why Treliving would not sign him if he wanted an AAV in the $10 million range.

  2. He’s gone, who gives a shit about it anymore. He was/is one of my favourites, sad it ended this way. Time to move on.

  3. Yea if Gaudreau stayed Tkachuk probably would’ve. Flames could’ve easily ran it back after 2022, no team wins it all in their first year of contention.

  4. Treliving bridged him because he didn’t want to lose Frolik lmao

  5. Didn’t want to sign Chucky to a long term contract. Theb lowballed the crap out of Johnny to the point of souring relations afterwards.

    Fuck Brad Treliving. Wasted our 6 year rebuild.

  6. This is also kinda revisionist history and a hindsight take. 2019-2020 we were mid as hell and got snuffed out by Dallas with ease in the bubble. Then 20-21 we didn’t even make playoffs in the fucking Canadian “north” division. This sub and the fan base in general at this point was already calling for Johnnys head and was still skeptical about Tkachuk.

    I’ve come around to also hate Tre for fucking us pretty hard with the Hube extensions but ya’ll would have RIOTED if he signed Chuck and Johnny to long term extensions after those two years, especially Johnny. There’s a REASON they wanted extensions and security. It was two dogass seasons

  7. Pretty sure he wanted Austin Matthews money early on. It’s easy to see it would have been a good signing now.
