Would Treliving offer that? Would anyone do either of those?
I would be disappointed with both those offers.

Just take Jost or Keller at 6 instead. I don't see a huge amount of difference between Tkachuk and those two (they bring different things). Keller is basically another Gaudreau, slightly worse as a prospect, but not by much and Jost is quite a sniper with good hands and is only a little undersized at 5-11. Either of those options is just as good as the slightly bigger Tkachuk would be. There are good players available in the 2nd/3rd round if you're digging through the mediocre guys that it doesn't make sense to ditch the picks for a minor upgrade if at all. .
