It's weird to think about how everything else would have played out then.

Not a chance.
I don't believe that B. Tkachuk will ever produce at the same level offensively as his big brother, and in the deal the Flames made they acquired two core pieces. It is possible that the lesser Tkachuk is never even as good as Lindholm, to say nothing of Hanifin.
