Right, but he's also the smartest player on the team, the most willing to compete, and lives rent free in the oppositions head.
Not to mention the message that sends the rest of the team shipping out the one player who really gives a #### and battles consistently. We should be building around Tkachuk.
We trade Johnny 10 times before we trade Tkachuk IMO.
