The point is that Tkachuk may more useful to another line in terms of complimenting his linemates.
For example Tkachuk may help the Gaudreau/Monahan line more than Backlund/Frolik miss him. Gaudreau/Monahan/Tkachuk could be one one of the most dangerous lines in the league. Meanwhile Backlund/Frolik looked dangerous with Bennett on their LW and generally play well with anyone.
We shouldn't be scared to break up one line in order to make the lineup deeper and harder to play against.
