Columbus would have an elite first line and first pairing if they added Tkachuk but I am not convinced of their depth. They also are not a destination spot so the Flames might be in a decent spot with 4 picks.
Personally I think Tkachuk is a franchise type winger so a 7 year deal could be something I would be alright with them matching but if the Jackets went 5 years $10M I would let him go for the picks.
If Columbus is giving up 4 picks though they will want a 7 year term with whichever RFA they offer sheet.
