Maybe they would not do this deal, but I would think they would very seriously consider it. First of all your team is better right away, he might be enough to get them in the playoffs. He is young, so marketable with his brother being there. If it was for the 3rd overall I can't see them not turning that deal down. But from a Calgary perspective they would want more compensation, hence why you add the 5th overall. Throw in Calgary first round pick and maybe that a good trade for both teams. If you can replace Tkachuk production via a UFA signing, IMO you have to look hard at a trade with Ottawa
Probably not going to happen, but anyone can be an armchair GM these days
