Pretty sure what happened was that Tkachuk said that he was unhappy with the season, and all SOB heard was 'unhappy'. Pair that with Tarasenko being available in St.Louis and it being Tkachuk's hometown, and it's not hard to put together.
It's even possible, although with Tarasenko's injury history you are looking at Tarasenko/Kyrou/1st as an overpay, since Calgary has no incentive to do anything.
