Rumour: Scott Cruickshank of The Athletic Calgary (Subscription required<\/a>) said that Flames may have to pay a hefty sum to keep Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> <\/strong>on the team. He\u2019s a restricted free agent on July 1st and Cruickshank speculated that the young forward could command $9-$10 million a season according to one insider.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Putting a price on @NHLFlames<\/a> LW Matthew Tkachuk … not easy. \u201cYou know what? He\u2019s probably going to set a new bar, in my opinion. I could see that being upwards of nine, 10 (million dollars per season) \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t be surprised at that."@TheAthleticCGY<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/zR7M43jhDK<\/a><\/p>\n
