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.

I think we should try for a couple of firsts... we need an elite player in the worst way. Better to get that first from teams that ight give us a quality first round pick. I believe the time to do it is now and try and shore up other areas with Sutter type players since he can win with those anyways.
