Tkachuk probably could be sold to the fan base a little more easily too.

The Flames would have to extend Tkachuk to something less than his 9M QO.
Try selling Tkachuk as the prime piece in a trade for Eichel AND a cap savings of 1M? This isn't likely a cap dump for Buffalo.
What would Seth Jones be asking for his UFA contract. 8*8 ?? Columbus might want a Centre for Laine.
