I think the Kings are a very serious threat as they have the pieces, they would be a preferred destination for Buffalo (west) and Eichel (It’s LA) and the Kings players and organization are talking about pushing this rebuild forward and trying to win sooner than later. LA used picks, prospects, and young players to fast track their rebuild that resulted in 2 cups so you can’t rule them out.
I do think the Flames will be as aggressive as any team of Treliving is the guy in charge. This is the rare chance to add an elite player in his prime and signed for 5 years. The Flames are one of the teams bidding who could add a line established young star player in return. Tkachuk is a fan favorite and the type of player you love to have on your team. I hate the idea of trading him but I think this team is in a tough spot to really make changes to be better. If you have an extremely rare chance to get a 25 year old top line C you have to do it. Especially with Johnny saying he wants to stay. You have your superstar duo for the next 5 years along with your goalie and a blueline that are just entering their prime.
