I think you are fooling yourself into thinking this.
Maybe they are being universally praised for not giving him 11 million a year for 8 years....
but not for the fact that they didn't get anything in return.
Anyways...
There must be something crappy about playing for the Flames that they can go from winning the division to their two best players wanting out... and quick.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Time for teams like Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg to rethink their draft strategy and start draft predominantly Canadian players.
The Athletic said Tkachuk would sign long term in St Louis, Las Vegas, Florida, Nashville and Dallas. Lots of low-tax locations there.

"It appears 's days in Calgary could be numbered. According to Jeremy Rutherford and Hailey Salvian of The Athletic, Tkachuk has informed the Flames he will not re-sign a long-term deal with the team and a trade involving the 24-year-old forward is likely to happen soon. The Athletic reports Tkachuk has supplied the Flames with a list of teams he would sign with, and cite one source listing the St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars as options."
I know Ottawa isn't on that list, but wouldn't the Brothers Tkachuk be awesome playing on the same team? Assuming the elder sibling is willing to give Ottawa a shot, what would it take to get him? DeBrincat plus one of Sanderson, Greig or Pinto, maybe add a draft pick? Both DeBrincat and Tkachuk are 40 goal scorers and 24 years old, but Tkachuk is the player everyone would want, so how much extra would Ottawa have to ante up for it to work?
Imagine the fun of having TWO Tkachuks to play against, lol!

I dont see Debincat moving just after dealing for him.
If Ottawa was a player I would think Batherson + would have to be starting point.
But my understanding is that Tkachuk provided a list of teams he's sign with - St. Louis, Nashville, Dallas, Florida are the top places he might land from reports I saw.
