The time to win is now. That is the message the Calgary Flames are sending after signing Matthew Tkachuk to a highly-anticipated contract on Wednesday. Tkachuk put pen to paper on a three-year, $21 million agreement, ending the standoff between the left winger and the National Hockey League club. The 21-year-old restricted free agent (RFA)
Training camp is finally underway. From a Columbus Blue Jackets’ perspective, that means starting to get the answers to some important questions surrounding the team.
