The Calgary Flames have reached an agreement with restricted free agent Matthew Tkachuk on a new contract. It is a three-year deal worth $7 million per season.
Tkachuk is coming off an excellent season where he scored 77 points, including 34 goals. He has not been at Calgary's training camp while a new contract was worked out, but that is expected to change shortly.
While the deal carries a $7 million AAV, Tkachuck's salary will be $9 million in the final season of the contract. This is important for RFAs as qualifying offers cannot be less than what the player made in the final year of their contract.
