Supporting cast is a part of it but our best players are not good enough also. Why is everyone scared of Tkachuk’s next contract? Because they question if he is good enough to get paid $9M.

It would be nice if our best players were better, but we also can't turn water into wine.
It seems like a lot of people think it's easy to trade Gaudreau and Tkachuk for players who are better immediately.
I'm not saying that's impossible, but in my experience, most teams lose when they trade their best player away and try to remain competitive.
Not that I am against trading any player on the roster - we just need to be reasonable in whatever strategy we take next.
