I’d honestly would kick the tires with Ottawa to see what they would be willing to part with for Tkachuk. I don’t get why he would be untouchable, all year he’s been lazy and slow and has made terrible and selfish decisions with the puck. He’s a showboater all too often and I wouldn’t mind seeing him dealt because I do think he yields the highest return. I’d also reach out to Toronto to see if they had interest in reuniting Marner/Tkachuk and how far they’d be willing to go. Because of the way things are set up this year and the higher than normal odds for any Canadian team that makes it into the playoffs I could see a team like Toronto paying an absurd amount for a player like Tkachuk. Haha we could even offer up a Rittich/Tkachuk package that would make Toronto salivate.
