Me neither Tkachuk isn't some defensive stalwart in junior and honestly whats his reasonable offensive upside a 60 point winger? The flames are expected to trade a 40-50 point defenseman who has played top pairing in Boston for the hope Tkachuk reaches his upside in 3 years at the earliest? I don't think Treliving would even consider that deal. Plus it is filling a need for our main rival for their surplus assets when our defensive depth is sketchy as is. The whole thing is people just playing connect the dots without considering what the Flames would actually be willing to do. Anything the flames give up would be a quantity for quality deal which most likely won't be accepted. The media is just making #### up since Treliving was hired what was the last thing the media got a jump on even a day before it actually happened?
