My take. I do wonder specifically about Tkachuk. Whatever happened to Tkachuk this year, who knows, but if the Flames are open to dealing him I do wonder if Tkachuk for Nylander and Robertson would be possible. Personally I see Nylander as a second line player, but the combo of Nylander and Robertson would be a decent return to work with for the future. Especially if the team as an identity wants to be faster. Tkachuk for Toronto would be a good fit as well. To me it'd be an interesting deal.

If you are trading Tkachuk it better be a first line center or #1 dman coming back in deal. Trading Tkachuk for a different winger is a waste of time.
