Before I get into this article at all, I want to address something. I am a huge fan of Matthew Tkachuk and am extremely happy that he is a Calgary Flame. I am not advocating to just trade him for no reason or to run him out of town. Heck, I’m not even advocating to trade him, but I am just looking at reasons why the Flames might end up trading him. Instead I want to approach this from an asset management perspective and look ahead to what the long term plans of this team might be.
Please understand this before you roast me in the comments.
